Types of AA Meetings

Grapevine: Grapevine is a monthly magazine published by AA. Its contents, written by AA members, generally feature the experiences of individuals with alcohol use disorder, and articles are often discussed in AA meetings.

Open: In Alaska, open AA meetings allow anyone from the community to learn more about the organization and how it operates. This includes individuals looking to overcome an alcohol addiction as well as their friends and loved ones. Nonalcoholics can participate as observers to understand the 12 step recovery program and how to address alcohol use disorder.
