Types of AA Meetings

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.

Living Sober: AA centers may have selected sessions set aside for Living Sober discussions. This text is secular in nature, and focuses on practical ways that members have used to stay sober one day at a time.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Maine may provide wheelchair access, such as the use of ramps and designated parking spaces. Non-ambulatory clients can safely navigate the center’s layout and meeting spaces.
