Men of New Garden

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Pennsylvania, closed AA meetings are not open to general members of the community. The only people who may attend are members of AA and individuals who know they have a drinking problem and want to find help.

Men: Men who are impacted by alcohol use disorder may seek out a men’s-only AA group. In Pennsylvania, these AA groups offer 12 Step Programs that center on issues relating to the health and recovery for men of all ages at no cost.

Step Meeting: Step meetings are part of the 12 Step Program in Pennsylvania AA centers. Groups read AA texts like Twelve Steps, discuss how the passages fit their experience, and come up with goals to improve their recovery in the next meeting.
