Types of AA Meetings
Big Book: Rhode Island residents in AA programs often use the Big Book as a source for inspiration. This anthology contains stories about real women and men who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.
Closed: Closed AA meetings in Rhode Island are not available to the general public. Participation is limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Discussions focus on alcoholism and related topics that are best understood by members with similar experiences.
Open: In Rhode Island, open AA meetings allow both members and observers to attend. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as anyone who wants to understand more about AA and its recovery program. Members can share their stories while observers are free to listen and learn.
Step Meeting: Rhode Island AA groups use step meetings within the 12 Step Program process. Clients discuss how their experience matches the steps as discussed in AA literature and make suggestions on how to improve their resilience for the next meeting.
Wheelchair Access: Rhode Island’s AA centers may have wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Exterior features include ramps and designated parking, while the facility may have an open layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
Women: Rhode Island women’s AA meetings are group meetings for women who are impacted by alcoholism - those who are suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. Welcoming women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program and are free to attend.
