Building a New Foundation

Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Michigan's AA follows the 12 Steps and Tradition, offering critical support and understanding for those seeking recovery. AA meetings provide a supportive network for individuals and their loved ones, creating a solid foundation for continued sobriety.

Big Book: Michigan AA programs frequently use the Big Book to inspire clients. This anthology contains stories about real people who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Michigan are not open to members of the general community. The only individuals who may attend are AA members and individuals who want to find help for alcohol addiction. This creates a welcoming space for members to share their recovery journey with others who have been through a similar experience.

Wheelchair Access: To participate in AA meetings, non-ambulatory clients in Michigan may have wheelchair access, such as the use of ramps and designated parking spaces. These clients can safely navigate the center’s meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
