Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: West Virginia AA groups frequently discuss the Big Book for inspiration. This anthology features the lives of real men and women who successfully controlled their alcohol use order.

Closed: In West Virginia, closed AA meetings are only accessible to current AA members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal in nature and everyone is encouraged to contribute. Nonalcoholics cannot attend these meetings.

Discussion: In West Virginia, AA discussion meetings center on one topic, usually derived from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections or the AA Grapevine. Leaders will choose the topic beforehand and share their personal experiences and reflections first. Then, other members can join the conversation.
