Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Mississippi, AA discussion meetings are focused on one specific aspect of alcoholism and recovery. Leaders may find inspiration in an AA text, such as the AA Grapevine. They’ll share their reflections first and then others can participate in the group conversation.

Open: In Mississippi, open AA meetings allow all interested community members to come together and learn more about what AA entails and how its recovery model works. In addition to individuals seeking support for alcohol addiction, this may include nonalcoholic friends, family members, and loved ones of AA members.
