Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Missouri AA programs often have Big Book discussions to inspire clients. The Big Book contains dozens of stories about women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Men: Specific AA groups in Missouri might be intended for men only. In free meetings, men of all ages can participate in 12 Step Programs that focus on their health and recovery.

Open: Open AA meetings in Missouri are accessible to anyone in the community. During this time, AA members will share their experiences and recovery journeys with the group, allowing attendees to learn firsthand how the program works, what the 12 step recovery model includes, and how they can support their friend or loved one seeking help for alcohol addiction.

Wheelchair Access: In Missouri, non-ambulatory clients may participate in AA meetings via wheelchair access. The center may provide ramps, designated parking, and an open layout to enable full participation.
