Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Vermont AA programs can inspire clients by reading and discussing the Big Book. This book contains stories about real people who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Open: Open AA meetings in Vermont are available to anyone in the community. Attendees do not have to be members of the program to listen and observe. These meetings are open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics alke, including anyone who wants to learn more about AA to support a friend or loved one in their recovery journey.

Step Meeting: Vermont’s AA centers often feature step meetings in their schedules. Step meetings are part of the 12 Step Program, in which members evaluate their progress based on AA texts and make recommendations on how to elevate their recovery for the step and for future steps.

Wheelchair Access: In Vermont, non-ambulatory clients may attend their AA meetings. Centers provide wheelchair access with exterior ramps, designated parking, and open floor plans for safe navigation in meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
