Types of AA Meetings
Big Book: New York AA programs often use the Big Book as a centerpiece in discussions. This book contains dozens of real stories about people who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.
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.
Living Sober: AA centers may have selected sessions set aside for Living Sober discussions. This text is secular in nature, and focuses on practical ways that members have used to stay sober one day at a time.
Newcomer: In New York, AA newcomer meetings offer an opportunity for people who are new to AA to learn more about the program as they begin their sobriety journey. Experienced members normally lead the meetings, which may include group discussions or follow a more structured lesson format.
Sign Language: Some AA chapters may have a sign-language interpreter. The interpreter provides American sign language for members who may be hard of hearing or are speech impaired.
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.
