Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Minnesota, closed AA meetings are restricted to members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to stop. Newcomers can ask questions to more experienced members, gaining insight and advice as they begin their recovery journey.

Step Meeting: AA programs in Minnesota feature step meetings to assist members’ recovery. In these meetings, members participate in group readings, converse about their experience and relate it to the text, and suggest ways for future improvement.

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