Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: AA programs in Tennessee often inspire participants with stories in the Big Book. Clients discuss the lives of real people who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder and how they can do the same.

Open: In Tennessee, open AA meetings are accessible to anyone from the public, including alcoholics and nonalcoholics. During the meeting, members can share their stories and provide information about the organization, while observers can listen and learn.

Wheelchair Access: In Tennessee, AA centers generally feature wheelchair access to enable non-ambulatory clients to fully participate in meetings. The centers may have exterior ramps, designated parking, and safe navigation in meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
