Types of AA Meetings
12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Alabama’s Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) programs follow the 12 Step and traditions guide, helping members build a strong foundation for their continued sobriety. AA meetings in Alabama are open to all members of the public, including recovering individuals, mentors, and family and friends of AA members.
Big Book: In Alabama, AA meetings may use the Big Book to facilitate discussion. This book contains dozens of inspiration stories of how past clients have recovered from alcohol use disorder.
Closed: In Alabama, closed AA meetings are not open to the general public. Only AA members or individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction can attend. This allows members to expand upon certain phases of their condition that other alcoholics can best understand. All members are encouraged to participate and the meetings are informal.
Concurrent with Al-Anon: AA meetings might be concurrent with Al-Anon, an organization composed of family members affected by relatives with alcohol use disorder. In these meetings, participants from both organizations discuss the challenges and successes they have experienced.
Concurrent with Alateen: AA meetings might be concurrent with Alateen, an organization made up of younger family members affected by relatives with alcohol use disorder. Discussions between the two groups can generate insight into the other groups’ experiences.
Discussion: In Alabama, AA discussion meetings begin with an AA member selecting a topic for group discussion. This topic will come from a type of AA text such as the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, AA Grapevine, and others. The member will usually share first before opening the floor for others to participate.
Open: Open AA meetings in Alabama are accessible to anyone in the community. This may include individuals seeking help for an alcohol use disorder as well as their friends, spouses, and family members. These meetings provide a general overview of AA’s 12 step recovery model and allow time for members to share their stories.
