Types of AA Meetings
As Bill Sees It: As Bill Sees It is a collection of essays and reflections from AA’s founder, Bill W., about the organization and its purpose. The book is often referenced in AA meetings to encourage members to individually and collectively discuss their recovery.
Big Book: Vermont AA programs can inspire clients by reading and discussing the Big Book. This book contains stories about real people who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.
Discussion: In Vermont, AA discussion meetings give all members the opportunity to share their thoughts on a specific, addiction-related topic. Leaders will organize and guide the meetings, often referring back to AA texts such as the Big Book or Daily Reflections.
Living Sober: AA centers may have selected sessions set aside for Living Sober discussions. This text is secular in nature, and focuses on practical ways that members have used to stay sober one day at a time.
Open: Open AA meetings in Vermont are available to anyone in the community. Attendees do not have to be members of the program to listen and observe. These meetings are open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics alke, including anyone who wants to learn more about AA to support a friend or loved one in their recovery journey.
Speaker: AA members in Vermont often hear motivational speakers to strengthen their resilience against alcoholism. These Speakers are usually AA alumni and use a mixture of reason, faith, humor, emotional appeal, and personal charm to connect with audiences.
Step Meeting: Vermont’s AA centers often feature step meetings in their schedules. Step meetings are part of the 12 Step Program, in which members evaluate their progress based on AA texts and make recommendations on how to elevate their recovery for the step and for future steps.
