Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Nebraska AA centers frequently inspire clients through the Big Book. The Big Book is a collection of stories about real people who successfully controlled alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: In Nebraska, AA discussion meetings allow all members to reflect on a common topic associated with alcoholism and recovery. These topics usually derive from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections or the Big Book. Leaders will open with their own insights and then encourage others to join the conversation.

Open: In Nebraska, open AA meetings are available for anyone to attend, including non-members and nonalcoholics. These meetings are informational in nature and usually feature member speakers who can share more about how the AA program works and what the 12 step recovery model entails.
