Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Missouri are not available to the general public and observers are not allowed. The only people who can attend are members of AA and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and group participation is encouraged.

Speaker: Missouri AA programs often feature motivational speakers to reinforce their members’ sobriety. By using humor, raw emotions, charm, and faith, speakers can inspire their listeners to harden their resolve against a relapse.

Wheelchair Access: In Missouri, non-ambulatory clients may participate in AA meetings via wheelchair access. The center may provide ramps, designated parking, and an open layout to enable full participation.
