Living in 12×12

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Missouri are not available to the general public and observers are not allowed. The only people who can attend are members of AA and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and group participation is encouraged.

Step Meeting: Missouri AA centers often involve step meetings, in which groups discuss their experience in various stages of the 12 Step Program. Members can strategize about individual and group interventions to improve their recovery for the next meeting.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
