Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Ohio's AA program follows the 12-step tradition, providing a pathway to sobriety for those in need. Meetings are open to the public, offer a supportive community for individuals and their loved ones, and promote understanding and healing.

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.

Open: Open AA meetings in Ohio do not restrict attendance to AA members only. Instead, anyone from the community is welcome to attend and learn more about how AA operates and what the 12 step recovery model includes. This includes alcoholics as well as their friends, relatives, and loved ones.
