Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Illinois are not open to outside observers. Instead, only AA members or individuals looking for help with a drinking problem are invited to attend. The discussions center around topics related to alcoholism and recovery and are of particular value to newcomers.

Polish: AA chapters may be comprised of Polish ethnic groups, meaning that they or their forebears came from Poland. These groups may conduct their meetings in Polish and incorporate Polish cultural practices in the recovery process.
