Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in New Jersey AA meetings frequently find inspiration in the Big Book. The Big Book is an anthology of real stories about men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: In New Jersey, AA discussion meetings give members the chance to share their insights, reflections, and opinions on a particular subject related to alcoholism and recovery. Leaders will normally begin by offering their own inputs, often referencing an AA text. Then, others can share.

Literature: Literature-guided AA meetings in New Jersey are peer support meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. Free to attend, these community meetings study AA literature such as the Big Book of AA, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA founders and leaders.

Open: Open AA meetings in New Jersey allow anyone who wants to learn more about AA to attend a session. During this time, members will share their experiences and recovery journey with AA, allowing attendees to learn firsthand how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes.

Wheelchair Access: In New Jersey, non-ambulatory clients can access AA centers through wheelchair access. Clients may have designated parking spaces, exterior ramps, and open floor plans.
