Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Connecticut, closed AA meetings are only available to members and individuals who want to seek help for a drinking problem. Newcomers can ask questions and learn more about the program and others can share their sobriety journey and offer hope for the future.

Step Meeting: Step meetings are part of Connecticut AA programs. In these meetings, participants converse about the stages of their recovery, compare their experiences to those in AA texts, and make goals for strengthening their recovery.

Wheelchair Access: In Connecticut, AA meetings that have wheelchair accessibility allow clients to park in designated parking and ramps. Non-ambulatory clients can safely navigate meeting halls, restrooms, and additional amenities.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.

Women: Connecticut women’s AA meetings are peer support meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. The meetings are free for all women to attend, using a 12-step program to help women at all stages of alcoholism recovery. They offer a safe and productive space for community support for women of all ages.
