Types of AA Meetings
11th Step Meditation: 11th Step Meditation is a spiritual-based stage in which members individually and collectively pray for greater strength to correct weaknesses and to make amends for injuries inflicted on others due to alcohol use disorder.
Discussion: AA discussion meetings in New York give all members the opportunity to speak on a specific topic related to alcoholism and recovery. Leaders typically find these topics in AA texts, such as Daily Reflections. They will share first, and then others are welcome to contribute to the conversation.
LGBTQ: Selected AA chapters focus on providing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, and generally welcome LGBTQ+ allies. These groups prioritize members’ recovery and sobriety within a non-heteronormative context.
Literature: Literature-guided AA meetings in New York are support group meetings for people who are affected by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcoholism and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. These 12-step meetings study AA literature such as the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA founders and leaders.
Open: Open AA meetings in New York are accessible to anyone from the community. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as their friends and loved ones or anyone who wants to learn more about how AA operates and what the 12 step recovery model entails.
Speaker: In New York, motivational speakers can assist AA programs in building members’ resolve against alcohol. Motivational Speakers are usually AA alumni and use humor, reason, charm, and raw emotions to appeal to their listeners.
