Circle of Hope

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Utah, closed AA meetings are restricted to just members of AA and people who realize they have a drinking problem and want to take steps toward recovery. The discussions include topics that are best understood by others who have taken this path before and have insights to share.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Utah revolve around a certain topic that relates to alcoholism and recovery. These topics normally come from a designated AA text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After the leader shares their personal thoughts on the subject, other members can participate in the discussion.

Women: Utah AA meetings for women are women-centered support group meetings for community members who are impacted by alcohol addiction - those who are suffering from alcoholism as well as those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. Open for women of all ages to attend at no cost, these meetings offer peer support and are guided by a 12-step addiction recovery program.
