Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Georgia AA meetings often center on the Big Book for discussions. The Big Book is a collection of stories from women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder and is used to inspire clients.

Open: In Georgia, anyone in the community can attend open AA meetings. These are available to individuals recovering from alcohol use disorder as well as nonalcoholics who want to learn more about the AA program and how the 12 step recovery model operates. The meetings are informative in nature and may include member input.

Wheelchair Access: In Georgia, AA centers with wheelchair access generally feature ramps and designated parking spots, as needed. The center’s layout allows for safe navigability for clients to participate in the meeting.
