Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: The AA 12 Step and Traditions programs in Arkansas provide essential support for those on their journey to recovery. AA meetings offer a safe space for individuals and their loved ones to find strength and hope together.

Closed: In Arkansas, closed AA meetings are limited to members only or anyone who has a serious drinking problem and is seeking help. These meetings allow participants to share personal details about their experiences that are best reserved for others in addiction recovery.

Literature: Arkansas literature-centric AA meetings are community support meetings for people affected by alcohol addiction. These sessions are free for all to attend. They follow a 12-step program and focus on the study of AA literature, including the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA co-founder Bill W and other leaders.

Newcomer: AA newcomer meetings in Arkansas cater to individuals who are new to the program or just starting their recovery from alcohol addiction. These meetings may include an informal discussion and an overview of the first three steps of the AA recovery model.

Open: In Arkansas, open AA meetings are available to individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction and nonalcoholics who want to learn more about how the program operates. This may include friends and loved ones of current members or anyone from the community seeking more information on the 12 step model of recovery.
