Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Illinois' AA programs provide a lifeline of support through the 12 Steps and Traditions programs. These programs foster a community of recovery among individuals who are navigating similar obstacles. Group meetings welcome all seeking sobriety, offering guidance and hope for a brighter future.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Illinois are not open to outside observers. Instead, only AA members or individuals looking for help with a drinking problem are invited to attend. The discussions center around topics related to alcoholism and recovery and are of particular value to newcomers.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
