Mexico Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Maine are not open to the general public. Only AA members and individuals who want to stop drinking are allowed to attend. Discussions center around alcohol addiction and recovery and anyone is welcome to share and contribute.

Discussion: In Maine, AA discussion meetings are based around a central theme. Once the leader opens the meeting using the group’s chosen format, they will share the meeting’s topic, which normally derives from an AA text, such as the Big Book. After the leader shares a personal reflection, others can join and share their insights.
