Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Mississippi, closed AA meetings are only available to AA members and people who recognize they have an alcohol addiction and want to seek help. The discussions are informal in nature and everyone is invited to share their personal reflections, challenges, and hopes for the future.

Discussion: In Mississippi, AA discussion meetings are focused on one specific aspect of alcoholism and recovery. Leaders may find inspiration in an AA text, such as the AA Grapevine. They’ll share their reflections first and then others can participate in the group conversation.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Mississippi are peer support group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Open to all women at no charge, including women with alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program.
