Dublin Hope for Hurting Group

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is used as a discussion topic in Ohio AA programs. Clients can be inspired by the collection of stories about real women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Open: Open AA meetings in Ohio do not restrict attendance to AA members only. Instead, anyone from the community is welcome to attend and learn more about how AA operates and what the 12 step recovery model includes. This includes alcoholics as well as their friends, relatives, and loved ones.

Step Meeting: Ohio AA centers rely on step meetings to assist members’ recovery. The group reads passages from Twelve Steps and compares these excerpts to their own experience. That way, the group can plan on ways to enhance their progress for the next step.
