Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Missouri are not available to the general public and observers are not allowed. The only people who can attend are members of AA and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and group participation is encouraged.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Missouri allow clients to share their thoughts and feelings on a particular subject related to alcohol addiction and recovery. The leader will open the meeting by sharing their personal reflections on the subject, which usually comes from an AA text. Then, they’ll encourage others to participate.

Young People: AA meetings for young people are intended for members in early adulthood, usually in their late teens and twenties. These groups focus on the experiences and issues that young people may face in their recovery.
