Types of AA Meetings

As Bill Sees It: As Bill Sees It is a collection of essays and reflections from AA’s founder, Bill W., about the organization and its purpose. The book is often referenced in AA meetings to encourage members to individually and collectively discuss their recovery.

Big Book: The Big Book is used as a discussion topic in Ohio AA programs. Clients can be inspired by the collection of stories about real women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Open: Open AA meetings in Ohio do not restrict attendance to AA members only. Instead, anyone from the community is welcome to attend and learn more about how AA operates and what the 12 step recovery model includes. This includes alcoholics as well as their friends, relatives, and loved ones.

Speaker: Ohio AA members may invite motivational speakers to help their resolve against relapse. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use a blend of humor, reason, emotions, and faith to encourage sobriety.

Wheelchair Access: Wheelchair access in Ohio AA centers enable non-ambulatory clients to fully participate in group meetings. Features include exterior ramps, designated parking, and open floor plans for safe navigation.
