Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Illinois' AA programs provide a lifeline of support through the 12 Steps and Traditions programs. These programs foster a community of recovery among individuals who are navigating similar obstacles. Group meetings welcome all seeking sobriety, offering guidance and hope for a brighter future.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Illinois are not open to outside observers. Instead, only AA members or individuals looking for help with a drinking problem are invited to attend. The discussions center around topics related to alcoholism and recovery and are of particular value to newcomers.

Spanish: Spanish AA meetings are intended for members who have limited English-speaking skills or those who choose to participate in Spanish. Other features of the center, such as AA literature or sign-language interpreters, may or may not be available in Spanish.
