Los Lunas Ladies Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In New Mexico, AA discussion meetings are conversational in nature. Leaders will choose a central theme to discuss, often pulling inspiration from an AA text, such as As Bill Sees It. They’ll share their personal insights first, then allow others to do the same.

Open: In New Mexico, open AA meetings are available to anyone from the public who wants to attend. Members can share their stories and alcohol addiction recovery journeys, offering a look into how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes. Alcoholics and nonalcoholics are welcome.

Women: New Mexico women’s AA meetings are support group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Open for all women to attend at no cost, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings offer peer support within a 12-step program.
