Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Nevada are structured around a central theme. The leader will start by sharing the topic, which may come from an AA text such as the Big Book or As Bill Sees It. After sharing their insights and offering encouragement to others, they’ll invite members to participate in the conversation.

Newcomer: In Nevada, AA newcomer meetings are open to people who are uninitiated with the program and want to understand how it works as they begin their recovery from alcohol addiction. Experiened members usually lead the sessions, which may follow a discussion format or more structured lessons.

Speaker: In Nevada, clients may attend AA programs, which include motivational speakers. Speakers, usually AA alumni, appeal to their audiences to harden their resolve against alcohol by appealing to their emotions, faith, reason, and wit.
