Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In West Virginia, AA discussion meetings center on one topic, usually derived from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections or the AA Grapevine. Leaders will choose the topic beforehand and share their personal experiences and reflections first. Then, other members can join the conversation.

Men: Men in West Virginia who are recovering from alcohol use disorder may enroll in a 12 Step Program. Select AA chapters offer meetings for men only that center on the issues that men of all ages face in their recovery.

Open: Open AA meetings in West Virginia are not limited to AA members only. Instead, anyone from the public is welcome to attend. This allows individuals to learn about how AA operates and what the 12 step model entails. Alcoholics and nonalcohlics can use this time to understand more about alcohol addiction recovery.

Wheelchair Access: West Virginia AA centers assist non-ambulatory clients by providing wheelchair access throughout the facility, including meeting rooms and restrooms. Exterior ramps and designated parking spaces may also be available.
