Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Massachusetts, AA discussion meetings are designed to give everyone the chance to share about a particular topic. Leaders will choose a central theme, usually based upon an AA text such as the Big Book. They’ll share first, then encourage members to offer their own insights and reflections.

Hybrid: Hybrid AA meetings are discussions that are simultaneously virtual and in-person. One in-person participant is generally responsible for monitoring the virtual platform, including the chat room and hands raised, and making sure that online members have a chance to participate.

Open: Open AA meetings in Massachusetts are available to anyone interested in the AA program of alcoholism recovery. Attendees will learn more about how AA works and what the 12 step model entails. Individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction can attend, as well as friends and loved ones who want to support their recovery journey.
