Types of AA Meetings
Closed: Closed AA meetings in Virginia are not open to anyone outside the AA community. The only people who can attend are members of AA and individuals who recognize they have an alcohol addiction and want to find help. The discussions are informal and everyone can contribute.
Discussion: In Virginia, AA discussion meetings are structured around a particular topic that relates to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will typically share first, referencing an AA text such as the Big Book before sharing their personal reflections. Then, other members can talk about what the topic means to them.
Speaker: Speakers in AA centers can motivate members to maintain their sobriety. In Virginia, Speakers are usually AA alumni and use humor, reason, charm, faith, and emotions in their appeals to listeners.
