Old North End in-Person Meetings

Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Colorado's AA programs embrace the 12 Steps and Traditions model, offering a lifeline of support for those battling addiction. Meetings are open to all individuals and their loved ones and reinforce the reality that recovery is a journey that is better traveled with the support and guidance of peers.

Big Book: In Colorado AA centers, clients may participate in Big Book discussions. This text features real men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder and can inspire clients to strengthen their resolve.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Colorado are restricted to just members or anyone who has a drinking problem and wants to seek help. Discussions are informal. Everyone is encouraged to participate and share about their alcohol addiction and recovery journey.

Step Meeting: In Colorado, step meetings are provided in AA programs. In step meetings, clients read passages from AA texts, talk about their own progress in that step, and suggest strategies for future progress.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
