Types of AA Meetings
Closed: In Wisconsin, closed AA meetings are not open to the general public and nonalcoholics cannot attend. The only people who may attend are AA members and individuals who understand they have a drinking problem and want to begin recovery. The discussions are informal and everyone can share.
Cross Talk Permitted: Cross talk refers to speech in AA meetings that are directed toward a specific member, rather than the group, and is generally critical. Crosstalk is generally not permitted in AA because it is considered disruptive and can undermine the unity of the group. However, some AA chapters allow cross talk in discussions.
Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Wisconsin give all members the chance to speak on one common subject related to alcohol addiction and recovery. These topics may tie into an AA text, such as the Big Book. Leaders will share first, and then the floor is open for other members to provide their input.
Newcomer: AA newcomer meetings in Wisconsin are educational in nature, designed to share the mission and goals of AA with individuals who are just starting the program. They give experienced members the chance to share their insights, answer questions, and provide support.
Women: Wisconsin AA meetings for women are women-exclusive peer support meetings for those who are affected by alcoholism - women who are addicted to alcohol or who have loved ones suffering from alcohol addiction. Welcoming women of all ages to attend at no cost, these meetings offer support and peer fellowship with the guidance of a 12-step recovery program.
