Friday Night Men’s Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Arkansas, closed AA meetings are limited to members only or anyone who has a serious drinking problem and is seeking help. These meetings allow participants to share personal details about their experiences that are best reserved for others in addiction recovery.

Discussion: In Arkansas, AA discussion meetings begin with one member sharing about a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. This topic will normally come from an AA-related text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions or the Big Book. After their initial reflections, other members can participate by sharing their own experiences and thoughts on the subject.

Men: Arkansas AA chapters offer free 12 Step Programs to assist the recovery process from alcohol use disorder. Select chapters may be available only to men of all ages to focus on men’s health issues.
