Brookline Big Book Study Group

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is a regular subject of discussion in New Hampshire AA meetings. This anthology contains stories about real men and women who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in New Hampshire focus on one specific topic related to alcohol addiction and recovery. These topics normally come from an AA text, such as the Big Book. The leader will share the topic, add their personal insights, and open the floor for members to share reflections.

Step Meeting: New Hampshire AA centers feature step meetings in their programs. Members read from AA texts, discuss their progress with the stage in the 12 Step Program, and make plans for future progress in the next meeting.

Virtual: AA groups may opt to hold their meetings virtually. Online sessions can be closed or open and are typically conducted on free platforms such as Zoom.
