Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in Arizona may participate in Big Book discussions. The Big Book contains dozens of inspirational stories of past clients who successfully controlled their alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Arizona are for AA members only, or anyone who has a problem with drinking and wants to stop. Observers from the community are not allowed to attend. Discussions are informal and all members are invited to participate.

Step Meeting: AA members can hold step meetings as part of their recovery program. In Arizona, step meetings consist of reading about one stage of the 12 Step Program, and members discuss their progress and plan for the future.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Arizona are peer support group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. The meetings use a 12-step curriculum to guide women at all stages of alcoholism recovery. These community meetings are available at no charge for women of all ages.
