Edgewood Women’s Big Book

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Rhode Island residents in AA programs often use the Big Book as a source for inspiration. This anthology contains stories about real women and men who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Rhode Island are not available to the general public. Participation is limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Discussions focus on alcoholism and related topics that are best understood by members with similar experiences.

Women: Rhode Island women’s AA meetings are group meetings for women who are impacted by alcoholism - those who are suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. Welcoming women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program and are free to attend.
