Types of AA Meetings

11th Step Meditation: 11th Step Meditation is a spiritual-based stage in which members individually and collectively pray for greater strength to correct weaknesses and to make amends for injuries inflicted on others due to alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Idaho, closed AA meetings are only available to members and individuals seeking help for alcoholism. This allows participants to share personal details about their recovery journeys without outside observance. Discussions are casual and everyone is encouraged to participate.

Discussion: In Idaho, AA discussion meetings center around a core topic that relates to alcoholism and recovery. Meeting leaders will typically begin by sharing insights from an AA text, such as AA Grapevine, before opening the floor for others to share their own reflections about the subject.

Literature: Literature-centric AA meetings in Idaho are peer support meetings for men and women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. These group meetings, free for all to attend, study the literature of Alcoholics Anonymous, including the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA leaders.
