Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: New Mexico's AA programs offer guidance through the 12 steps, providing a lifeline of support for those seeking sobriety. Meetings are regular and flexible and provide a welcoming environment for individuals and their loved ones.

Discussion: In New Mexico, AA discussion meetings are conversational in nature. Leaders will choose a central theme to discuss, often pulling inspiration from an AA text, such as As Bill Sees It. They’ll share their personal insights first, then allow others to do the same.

Open: In New Mexico, open AA meetings are available to anyone from the public who wants to attend. Members can share their stories and alcohol addiction recovery journeys, offering a look into how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes. Alcoholics and nonalcoholics are welcome.
