Types of AA Meetings
Big Book: Clients in Arizona may participate in Big Book discussions. The Big Book contains dozens of inspirational stories of past clients who successfully controlled their alcohol use disorder.
Discussion: In Arizona, AA discussion meetings allow one member to share their personal experience, recovery journey, and hope for the future before opening the floor for others to share. They usually begin by referencing a topic from an AA text such as the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, AA Grapevine, or others.
LGBTQ: Selected AA chapters focus on providing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, and generally welcome LGBTQ+ allies. These groups prioritize members’ recovery and sobriety within a non-heteronormative context.
Newcomer: In Arizona, individuals just starting their recovery journeys can attend AA newcomer meetings to learn more about the program and what it includes. Experienced members typically lead the meetings, which may include informal discussions or an overview of Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the 12 step program.
Open: Open AA meetings in Arizona are open to anyone who wants to learn more about the program and how the 12 step recovery model operates. This may include individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as their friends and family members. This allows nonalcoholics to understand the basic meeting structure so they can provide support moving forward.
Speaker: Arizona AA centers often invite speakers to inspire participants to battle alcohol. Speakers employ a combination of humor, spirituality, raw emotions, and encouragement.
Step Meeting: AA members can hold step meetings as part of their recovery program. In Arizona, step meetings consist of reading about one stage of the 12 Step Program, and members discuss their progress and plan for the future.
