Meeting in the Mountains Group

Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Utah revolve around a certain topic that relates to alcoholism and recovery. These topics normally come from a designated AA text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After the leader shares their personal thoughts on the subject, other members can participate in the discussion.

Open: Open AA meetings in Utah are not restricted to members only. Anyone from the public can attend to learn more about how the program works, what the 12 step recovery model includes, and how they can support someone they know with alcohol addiction. Members may share their personal stories and recovery journeys while non-members can listen and observe.

Speaker: Utah AA centers often bring in speakers to encourage members from relapsing. Speakers employ humor, charm, reason, faith, and emotions to inspire their listeners to resist alcohol.
