Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: The AA 12 Step and Traditions programs in Arkansas provide essential support for those on their journey to recovery. AA meetings offer a safe space for individuals and their loved ones to find strength and hope together.

Big Book: The Big Book may be a center of discussion in Arkansas AA meetings. The Big Book features dozens of inspirational stories about men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Arkansas, closed AA meetings are limited to members only or anyone who has a serious drinking problem and is seeking help. These meetings allow participants to share personal details about their experiences that are best reserved for others in addiction recovery.

Literature: Arkansas literature-centric AA meetings are community support meetings for people affected by alcohol addiction. These sessions are free for all to attend. They follow a 12-step program and focus on the study of AA literature, including the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA co-founder Bill W and other leaders.
