Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Alaska are open to AA members only, as well as anyone looking for help with a drinking problem. Non-members within the community are not able to attend. This creates a safe space for members to talk about sensitive topics that will resonate best with others in addiction recovery.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Alaska are centered around a core topic related to the program. One speaker will open the meeting by referencing a subject from an AA text, such as the Big Book, AA Grapevine, or As Bill Sees It. After they share briefly, other members can expand on the topic in a group discussion.
