Women’s Step Study Group

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In New Mexico, closed AA meetings are only accessible to current AA members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to find help. This gives newcomers a chance to ask questions and learn more about the program as more experienced members share their reflections and advice.

Step Meeting: New Mexico AA programs often feature step meetings. Here, the group read and discuss excerpts from 12 Step Program literature and relate the texts to their own recovery. Members recommend goals to make their recovery stronger in the future.
