Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Nevada, closed AA meetings are only available to members and people who recognize they have a problem with excessive drinking and want to find help. The discussions are informal and everyone is encouraged to ask questions, share their experiences, and offer their insights.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Nevada are structured around a central theme. The leader will start by sharing the topic, which may come from an AA text such as the Big Book or As Bill Sees It. After sharing their insights and offering encouragement to others, they’ll invite members to participate in the conversation.
