Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Hawaii, AA discussion meetings allow members to share their opinions and reflections on a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. The leader will typically open the meeting by referencing a relevant AA text, such as the Big Book or Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they will invite others to reflect on the topic in a group discussion.

Men: Select Hawaii AA meetings might be designated only for men impacted by alcohol use disorder. These meetings offer free 12 Step Programs specifically for the health and recovery for men of all ages.

Speaker: AA clients in Hawaii frequently attend motivational speakers’ sessions. These messages frequently reinforce clients’ commitment against alcohol by using humor, faith, charm, and raw emotions.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Hawaii may have wheelchair access, including ramps and designated parking. Clients will be able to safely navigate in the facility’s meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.

Young People: AA meetings for young people are intended for members in early adulthood, usually in their late teens and twenties. These groups focus on the experiences and issues that young people may face in their recovery.
