Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Hawaii, AA discussion meetings allow members to share their opinions and reflections on a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. The leader will typically open the meeting by referencing a relevant AA text, such as the Big Book or Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they will invite others to reflect on the topic in a group discussion.

Literature: Literature-centric AA meetings in Hawaii are peer support meetings for men and women affected by alcohol addiction. These free group meetings study the literature of AA, including the Big Book, AA workbooks, and other writings by AA co-founder Bill W and other leaders.
