Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in New York are not open to public community members who want to observe the discussion. The only people who can attend are AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and everyone can share.

Step Meeting: In New York, AA centers use step meetings to enhance members’ recovery. Groups read and incorporate excerpts from AA texts into their own stage of the 12 Step Program. The group makes plans for greater progress by their next meeting.

Women: New York women’s AA meetings are support group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Cost-free and open to all women in the community, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings offer peer support within a 12-step recovery program.
