Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Kentucky's AA programs embrace the 12 Steps and Traditions, a recovery philosophy that is structured, supportive, and rooted in behavioral sciences. AA programs provide a welcoming environment where essential skills for continued sobriety are preached, practiced, and embraced.

Big Book: The Big Book is a collection of stories about men and women who overcame alcoholism. AA centers in Kentucky use the Big Book to inspire clients during group discussions.

Open: In Kentucky, anyone who wants to learn more about AA and the 12 step recovery model can attend an open AA meeting. These meetings are available to all members of the public, including alcoholics and nonalcoholics. In addition to providing practical tools and tips for recovery, they also help observers to better understand the program and its basic structure.

Wheelchair Access: In Kentucky, AA centers may provide wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Access may include ramps, designated parking spaces, and a safe layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and other amenities.
