Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Rhode Island allow members to focus their conversation around one central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will normally open the meeting with their own reflections, often referencing a related AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can provide inputs as they feel led.

Speaker: Rhode Island AA programs frequently include motivational speakers. These speakers encourage members from relapsing by using humor, reason, charm, faith, and raw emotions to promote sobriety.
