Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Louisiana's AA 12 Steps and Traditions programs offer vital support and understanding for those seeking recovery. Meetings provide a welcoming environment for individuals and their loved ones that promote and explore positive behavioral habits that can establish a path for continued sobriety.

Big Book: Louisiana AA meetings frequently use the Big Book to inspire clients. This collection of stories features men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Louisiana are conversational in nature. Group leaders will begin by sharing a key topic related to alcoholism and recovery, often reading a related passage from an AA text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After they share their reflections on the topic, they’ll invite others to participate.

Open: Open AA meetings in Louisiana are available to anyone who wants to learn more about the program and how its recovery model works. Participants can include individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction as well as nonalcoholics interested in the 12 step program.
