Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Nebraska's AA embraces the research based 12 Steps and Traditions, providing a lifeline of support for individuals on their journey to sobriety. Regular meetings offer a safe space for individuals and their loved ones, allowing them to find strength together.

Big Book: Nebraska AA centers frequently inspire clients through the Big Book. The Big Book is a collection of stories about real people who successfully controlled alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Nebraska, closed AA meetings are limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcoholism. Nonalcoholics and casual community observers are not permitted to attend. This provides a safe and welcoming space for individuals to share about their addictions, ask questions, and learn about AA’s recovery model.

Discussion: In Nebraska, AA discussion meetings allow all members to reflect on a common topic associated with alcoholism and recovery. These topics usually derive from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections or the Big Book. Leaders will open with their own insights and then encourage others to join the conversation.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Nebraska are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Free to attend and open to all women, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction, these group meetings follow a 12-step recovery curriculum.
