Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Delaware are not open to the public. These are restricted only to members or anyone who has a drinking problem and wants to find help. Discussions are informal, centering on topics related to alcohol addiction and recovery.

Discussion: In Delaware, AA discussion meetings are structured around one core discussion topic. The leader will begin the meeting by sharing a subject from an applicable AA text, such as the Big Book or Daily Reflections. Then, others can join in to share their inputs, reflections, and recovery stories.

Speaker: AA participants in Delaware may seek inspiration from motivational speakers. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use a blend of humor, faith, charm, and raw emotions to strengthen AA members’ resolve against alcohol.
