Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In New Jersey, closed AA meetings are not available to community observers. Only members and individuals seeking help for alcoholism can attend. The discussions focus on topics related to alcohol addiction and recovery, and all attendees are invited to participate.

Variable Format: A variable format refers to no set schedules for weekly meetings. An AA group might feature a round robin candle-lit discussion in one week, and a book discussion in the next meeting.
