Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Nebraska, AA discussion meetings allow all members to reflect on a common topic associated with alcoholism and recovery. These topics usually derive from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections or the Big Book. Leaders will open with their own insights and then encourage others to join the conversation.

Open: In Nebraska, open AA meetings are available for anyone to attend, including non-members and nonalcoholics. These meetings are informational in nature and usually feature member speakers who can share more about how the AA program works and what the 12 step recovery model entails.

Spanish: Spanish AA meetings are intended for members who have limited English-speaking skills or those who choose to participate in Spanish. Other features of the center, such as AA literature or sign-language interpreters, may or may not be available in Spanish.
