Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: In North Carolina, the Big Book is a source of inspiration for AA participants. The Big Book features the lives of real people who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in North Carolina are only open to AA members and individuals who realize they have a drinking problem and want to take steps toward recovery. Leaders will facilitate the informal discussion and newcomers will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Step Meeting: AA chapters use step meetings as part of the recovery process in North Carolina. In a step meeting, participants read from Twelve Steps and discuss how the passages relate to their own progress. These lessons can strengthen their resilience.

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.
