Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Maine are not open to the general public. Only AA members and individuals who want to stop drinking are allowed to attend. Discussions center around alcohol addiction and recovery and anyone is welcome to share and contribute.

Step Meeting: Maine AA programs can include step meetings. In these meetings, participants compare their recovery experiences with each other and the corresponding stage in the 12 Step Program. Members then suggest ways to improve their progress for the next step.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
