Live at Pine Lake Speaker Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Babysitting Available: AA centers might have pre-existing available babysitting services, which they make available for members during meetings. Services vary in terms of cost, ages of children accepted, and amenities for babysitters, members, and children.

Open: In Washington, open AA meetings are not restricted to members only. Anyone is welcome to attend and learn more about how the program works and what the 12 step model of recovery includes. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as nonalcoholics who want to support a friend or loved one in recovery.

Speaker: AA programs often include motivational speakers in their line-up. In Washington, speakers effectively appeal to their listeners to avoid alcohol through wit, reason, charm, faith, and emotions.
