Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Minnesota's AA programs provide a lifeline of support through the 12 Steps and Tradiiaons recovery guidelines. These guidelines foster a community of recovery. Open meetings welcome all seeking sobriety, are peer or mentor-led, and help establish critical skills for success.

Big Book: AA centers in Minnesota often inspire clients by using the Big Book. The anthology features dozens of stories about men and women who overcame alcoholism.

Closed: In Minnesota, closed AA meetings are restricted to members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to stop. Newcomers can ask questions to more experienced members, gaining insight and advice as they begin their recovery journey.

Women: Minnesota AA meetings for women are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings use a 12-step recovery program and are free for women of all ages to attend.
