Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: West Virginia AA groups frequently discuss the Big Book for inspiration. This anthology features the lives of real men and women who successfully controlled their alcohol use order.

Closed: In West Virginia, closed AA meetings are only accessible to current AA members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal in nature and everyone is encouraged to contribute. Nonalcoholics cannot attend these meetings.

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.
