We Are Not A Glum Lot – Speaker/Discussion

Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Oregon, AA discussion meetings center on one specific subject associated with alcohol addiction and recovery. These subjects often derive from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Leaders will open by sharing the topic and giving their insights, and then others can join the conversation.

Speaker: AA centers in Oregon often invite speakers to inspire their members to resist relapse. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use humor, raw emotions, charm, faith, and reason to appeal to listeners.
