Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Indiana give members the opportunity to share their insights on a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. The group leader will normally open the session by expanding upon a topic from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can provide insights as they feel led.

Newcomer: In Indiana, AA newcomer meetings help introduce the program to individuals who have not participated in it in the past. This allows them to learn more about AA and the 12 step recovery model. The discussions typically center on Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 of the program.

Open: In Indiana, open AA meetings are not limited to individuals with alcohol addictions only. Instead, anyone from the public is invited to come and learn more about the organization, including how the 12 step recovery model operates and what it entails. This may include the friends, family members, and loved ones of current members or any community member seeking more information.

Women: Indiana AA meetings for women are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including those who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. These meetings use a 12-step recovery curriculum and are open to women of all ages free of charge.
