Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Rhode Island's AA programs are deeply rooted in the 12 Steps and Traditions and extend a warm invitation to those in recovery. Through peer and mentor-led meetings, individuals receive the support and guidance necessary for lasting change.

Big Book: Rhode Island residents in AA programs often use the Big Book as a source for inspiration. This anthology contains stories about real women and men who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Rhode Island are not available to the general public. Participation is limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Discussions focus on alcoholism and related topics that are best understood by members with similar experiences.
