Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: South Carolina's AA 12 Step and Traditions program embraces all with open arms and offer regular and flexible meetings for individuals on the path to recovery. Meetings provide an inclusive environment, unwavering support and the understanding that all individuals are on a unique path in their recovery.

Big Book: In South Carolina, clients enrolled in AA programs often discuss the Big Book. This anthology contains dozens of stories about real people who overcame alcohol use disorder and can inspire clients to do the same.

Literature: South Carolina literature-led AA meetings are support meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. As part of a 12-step addiction recovery program, these community meetings are free to attend and are based on the Big Book of AA and other literature by AA founders and leaders.

Open: Open AA meetings in South Carolina are available to anyone in the community. They are not limited to members only, which gives the public the opportunity to learn more about the organization and its unique 12 step recovery program. Members can share their stories and experiences while non-members can listen and observe.

Wheelchair Access: Non-ambulatory clients in South Carolina may still fully participate in AA meetings. The center may have designated parking spaces and wheelchair access through exterior ramps and open floor spaces.
