Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in Indiana often participate in Big Book discussions for inspiration. This AA anthology contains stories about men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Indiana, closed AA meetings are restricted to members of AA or people looking to overcome alcohol addiction. Outside observers are not able to attend. Discussions cover a range of topics related to alcoholism and recovery.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Indiana give members the opportunity to share their insights on a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. The group leader will normally open the session by expanding upon a topic from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can provide insights as they feel led.

Wheelchair Access: Indiana AA meetings may have wheelchair access, which includes ramps and designated parking spots. The center’s layout allows non-ambulatory clients to safely navigate throughout AA events.
