Sober Women’s Big Book

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is used as a discussion topic in Ohio AA programs. Clients can be inspired by the collection of stories about real women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Ohio, closed AA meetings are open to members only, including anyone seeking help for an alcohol addiction. The discussions center on topics related to alcoholism and recovery and all participants are invited to contribute.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.

Women: Ohio women’s AA meetings are group support meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. Open to all women in the community, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction, these meetings are free to attend and offer community support alongside a 12-step recovery curriculum.
