Types of AA Meetings

Newcomer: In Pennsylvania, AA newcomer meetings are available for individuals who are new to AA and want to learn more as they take the first steps toward recovery. Experienced members usually lead the sessions, which may be discussion-based or structured around core topics.

Speaker: In Pennsylvania, speakers assist AA members by appealing to them to resist relapse. Speakers tend to use a blend of humor, reason, faith, raw emotions, and charm to dissuade members from drinking.
