Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Alaska’s 12 Step AA programs allow individuals in all stages of recovery to find the support they need for lasting sobriety. AA meetings are open to recovering individuals and their loved ones, are peer-led and peer-supported, and offer a positive environment recovering individuals can turn to.

Big Book: Alaska AA meetings may contain Big Book discussions to inspire clients. The Big Book refers to a basic Alcoholics Anonymous text that describes how past clients overcame alcohol use disorder.

Open: In Alaska, open AA meetings allow anyone from the community to learn more about the organization and how it operates. This includes individuals looking to overcome an alcohol addiction as well as their friends and loved ones. Nonalcoholics can participate as observers to understand the 12 step recovery program and how to address alcohol use disorder.

Wheelchair Access: Alaskan AA centers with wheelchair access will have ramps and designated parking spots for participants. The center’s wheelchair accommodations include safe navigation throughout the facility.
