Bel Air Women’s Big Book – No Meeting On Thanksgiving Day

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in Maryland AA centers often use the Big Book for inspiration. The book contains stories about real people who successfully controlled alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In Maryland, closed AA meetings are not accessible to the general public. The only people who can attend are current members and individuals who recognize they have a problem with drinking and want to find help. Discussions are informal and participation is encouraged.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Maryland are designed to be conversational and informative. Leaders will choose a theme for discussion that relates to alcohol addiction and recovery, often pulling inspiration from an AA text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After sharing briefly, they’ll invite others to join in.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Maryland are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcoholism, including women with alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings, which use a 12-step recovery program, are free for women of all ages to attend.
