Little River Group – Closed Step Study

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In South Carolina, closed AA meetings are only accessible to AA members and anyone seeking help for a drinking problem. They are not open to the general public. The discussions are informal and all participants are invited to share their reflections and experiences.

Step Meeting: In South Carolina, AA centers feature step meetings as part of the 12 Step Program. Participants use AA literature as a basis for recovery, compare their experience to the texts, and converse about ways to improve themselves for future steps.

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.
