Types of AA Meetings
Discussion: In New Mexico, AA discussion meetings are conversational in nature. Leaders will choose a central theme to discuss, often pulling inspiration from an AA text, such as As Bill Sees It. They’ll share their personal insights first, then allow others to do the same.
Native American: Native American AA groups generally consist of members who identify with an American Indian/Alaskan Native group, and topics reflect challenges and issues facing that group’s recovery. Meetings may be held in that group’s language and include traditional healing practices along with standard AA methods.
Open: In New Mexico, open AA meetings are available to anyone from the public who wants to attend. Members can share their stories and alcohol addiction recovery journeys, offering a look into how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes. Alcoholics and nonalcoholics are welcome.
Sign Language: Some AA chapters may have a sign-language interpreter. The interpreter provides American sign language for members who may be hard of hearing or are speech impaired.
Speaker: Motivational speakers are commonly featured in New Mexico AA programs. These Speakers are usually AA alumni and use wit, reason, spirituality, and personality to inspire their audiences to resist relapse.
