Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Maine, AA discussion meetings are based around a central theme. Once the leader opens the meeting using the group’s chosen format, they will share the meeting’s topic, which normally derives from an AA text, such as the Big Book. After the leader shares a personal reflection, others can join and share their insights.

Speaker: Maine AA centers frequently invite speakers to motivate their listeners to strengthen their resolve against alcohol. Speakers get their points across through humor, faith, charm, and raw emotions.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Maine may provide wheelchair access, such as the use of ramps and designated parking spaces. Non-ambulatory clients can safely navigate the center’s layout and meeting spaces.
