Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Louisiana are conversational in nature. Group leaders will begin by sharing a key topic related to alcoholism and recovery, often reading a related passage from an AA text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After they share their reflections on the topic, they’ll invite others to participate.

Open: Open AA meetings in Louisiana are available to anyone who wants to learn more about the program and how its recovery model works. Participants can include individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction as well as nonalcoholics interested in the 12 step program.
