Women’s Book Study

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: In Oregon, AA participants use the Big Book as a source of inspiration. They actively discuss the stories of real people in the book who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Oregon are not open to the public. Community members cannot sit in and observe. Instead, the only attendees are AA members and individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.

Women: Oregon women’s AA meetings are group meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction - those who have alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones who are suffering from alcoholism. Open to women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step program for recovery and are free to attend.
