Saint Anne’s AA

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Minnesota, closed AA meetings are restricted to members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to stop. Newcomers can ask questions to more experienced members, gaining insight and advice as they begin their recovery journey.

Discussion: In Minnesota, AA discussion meetings offer the opportunity for all members to share their thoughts and feelings on a specific subject. Leaders usually derive inspiration for the discussion from an AA text, such as the Big Book. They’ll open with their own reflections, and then encourage others to discuss.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Minnesota may feature amenities for non-ambulatory clients. Wheelchair access can include ramps, designated parking spaces, and full maneuverability within the center.
