Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Georgia, closed AA meetings are not open to observers or members of the general public. Instead, only members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction are invited to attend. Members can share details about their recovery journey and newcomers are welcome to ask questions.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Georgia are led by a speaker, who opens the meeting by sharing a general topic to discuss. This topic is typically derived from an AA text, such as AA Grapevine or the Big Book. Once the speaker shares their input on the topic, they will open the floor for others to give their opinions and reflections.

Men: Men in Georgia who are impacted by alcohol use disorder can seek an AA chapter that is designated only for men. These groups offer no-cost 12 Step Programs that center on health and recovery issues for men of all ages.
