Anchorage Men’s Stag

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Alaska are open to AA members only, as well as anyone looking for help with a drinking problem. Non-members within the community are not able to attend. This creates a safe space for members to talk about sensitive topics that will resonate best with others in addiction recovery.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Alaska are centered around a core topic related to the program. One speaker will open the meeting by referencing a subject from an AA text, such as the Big Book, AA Grapevine, or As Bill Sees It. After they share briefly, other members can expand on the topic in a group discussion.

Men: Select Alaska AA chapters may be designated only for men affected by alcohol use disorder. These groups offer men of all ages programs that deal with issues that affect men’s recovery at no charge.
