Living Sobriety

Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Delaware, AA discussion meetings are structured around one core discussion topic. The leader will begin the meeting by sharing a subject from an applicable AA text, such as the Big Book or Daily Reflections. Then, others can join in to share their inputs, reflections, and recovery stories.

Literature: Literature-focused AA meetings in Delaware are peer support meetings for people affected by alcohol addiction. Free for all to attend, these sessions use a 12-step curriculum based on AA literature, including the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA founders and leaders.

Living Sober: AA centers may have selected sessions set aside for Living Sober discussions. This text is secular in nature, and focuses on practical ways that members have used to stay sober one day at a time.

Open: In Delaware, open AA meetings allow anyone interested in the 12 step model of recovery to attend and learn more about how the program works. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction, as well as their friends and loved ones. Members can share their experiences and tips for recovery to help observers understand what to expect.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Delaware with wheelchair accessibility enable clients to safely navigate the facility’s meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities. The facility generally has ramps and designated parking spots as needed.
