Tuesday Nite 12 & 12 Group

Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Kentucky's AA programs embrace the 12 Steps and Traditions, a recovery philosophy that is structured, supportive, and rooted in behavioral sciences. AA programs provide a welcoming environment where essential skills for continued sobriety are preached, practiced, and embraced.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Kentucky give all members the chance to reflect on their alcohol addiction recovery journeys and share their hopes for the future. Leaders will normally open the meetings by reading from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Once they share their input on the topic, they’ll allow others to join the discussion.

Open: In Kentucky, anyone who wants to learn more about AA and the 12 step recovery model can attend an open AA meeting. These meetings are available to all members of the public, including alcoholics and nonalcoholics. In addition to providing practical tools and tips for recovery, they also help observers to better understand the program and its basic structure.

Wheelchair Access: In Kentucky, AA centers may provide wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Access may include ramps, designated parking spaces, and a safe layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and other amenities.
