Types of AA Meetings

Literature: Maine literature-based AA meetings are peer group meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction. Open to all to attend at no cost, these community support meetings emphasize AA literature, such as the Big Book of AA and other writings by AA founders and leaders within a 12-step recovery program.

Open: In Maine, open AA meetings are informative and accessible, welcoming alcoholics and nonalcoholics alike. The meetings include information on what the AA program entails, how the 12 step recovery model works, and what members will experience. They’re ideal for someone new to the organization as well as friends, relatives, and loved ones of those seeking support.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Maine are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. Held at various locations within the community, these meetings use a 12-step addiction recovery curriculum and are open to all women at no charge.
