Wednesday Night Step Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Wisconsin, closed AA meetings are not open to the general public and nonalcoholics cannot attend. The only people who may attend are AA members and individuals who understand they have a drinking problem and want to begin recovery. The discussions are informal and everyone can share.

Sign Language: Some AA chapters may have a sign-language interpreter. The interpreter provides American sign language for members who may be hard of hearing or are speech impaired.

Step Meeting: Wisconsin AA centers often feature step meetings within their programs. Members discuss AA literature and their own experiences before strategizing on how to make their recovery stronger throughout the 12 Step program.

Wheelchair Access: In Wisconsin, non-ambulatory clients participate in AA meetings through wheelchair access. Facilities may include exterior ramps, designated parking, and open floor spaces for safe navigation.
