Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Connecticut, closed AA meetings are only available to members and individuals who want to seek help for a drinking problem. Newcomers can ask questions and learn more about the program and others can share their sobriety journey and offer hope for the future.

Discussion: In Connecticut, AA discussion meetings revolve around one specific topic. A member serving as the leader will open the meeting by referencing an AA text, such as AA Grapevine, the Big Book, or Daily Reflections. Then, other members can participate and share their own feelings about the topic and its relation to their recovery journey.

Men: Men of all ages may join AA chapters to recover from alcohol use disorder at no charge. In Connecticut, these AA chapters provide 12 Step Programs that focus on men’s health and long-term recovery.
