Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Kentucky are limited to members of AA and anyone looking for support in their sobriety journey. Outside observers cannot attend. Group discussions are informal and everyone is encouraged to participate.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Kentucky give all members the chance to reflect on their alcohol addiction recovery journeys and share their hopes for the future. Leaders will normally open the meetings by reading from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Once they share their input on the topic, they’ll allow others to join the discussion.

Wheelchair Access: In Kentucky, AA centers may provide wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Access may include ramps, designated parking spaces, and a safe layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and other amenities.
