Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Michigan AA programs frequently use the Big Book to inspire clients. This anthology contains stories about real people who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Michigan usually revolve around a central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. The meeting leader will start by sharing their insights on the subject, which may be taken from an AA text such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they’ll invite others to share.

Open: Open AA meetings in Michigan allow anyone who wants to learn more about AA and the 12 step model of recovery to attend. This may include individuals seeking support for alcohol use disorder or nonalcoholics who want to support their friends, loved ones, and relatives on their recovery journey.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Michigan are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings use a 12-step recovery program and are free for women of all ages at no charge.
