Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: In South Carolina, clients enrolled in AA programs often discuss the Big Book. This anthology contains dozens of stories about real people who overcame alcohol use disorder and can inspire clients to do the same.

Closed: In South Carolina, closed AA meetings are only accessible to AA members and anyone seeking help for a drinking problem. They are not open to the general public. The discussions are informal and all participants are invited to share their reflections and experiences.

Wheelchair Access: Non-ambulatory clients in South Carolina may still fully participate in AA meetings. The center may have designated parking spaces and wheelchair access through exterior ramps and open floor spaces.
