Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Hawaii's AA 12 Steps and Traditions programs offer guidance through mentor and peer-led meetings. These meetings allow members to build a foundation for lasting sobriety. Open meetings welcome individuals at any stage of recovery, fostering a supportive network for healing.

Discussion: In Hawaii, AA discussion meetings allow members to share their opinions and reflections on a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. The leader will typically open the meeting by referencing a relevant AA text, such as the Big Book or Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they will invite others to reflect on the topic in a group discussion.

Step Meeting: Hawaii AA chapters often include step meetings. In these meetings, members read and discuss passages from AA texts like Twelve Steps, relate these passages to their own recovery, and strategize for future progress.
