Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In New Jersey, AA discussion meetings give members the chance to share their insights, reflections, and opinions on a particular subject related to alcoholism and recovery. Leaders will normally begin by offering their own inputs, often referencing an AA text. Then, others can share.

Open: Open AA meetings in New Jersey allow anyone who wants to learn more about AA to attend a session. During this time, members will share their experiences and recovery journey with AA, allowing attendees to learn firsthand how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes.

Wheelchair Access: In New Jersey, non-ambulatory clients can access AA centers through wheelchair access. Clients may have designated parking spaces, exterior ramps, and open floor plans.
