Types of AA Meetings

Open: In Maine, open AA meetings are informative and accessible, welcoming alcoholics and nonalcoholics alike. The meetings include information on what the AA program entails, how the 12 step recovery model works, and what members will experience. They’re ideal for someone new to the organization as well as friends, relatives, and loved ones of those seeking support.

Speaker: Maine AA centers frequently invite speakers to motivate their listeners to strengthen their resolve against alcohol. Speakers get their points across through humor, faith, charm, and raw emotions.
