Men’s Fifth Tradition Group

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Georgia AA meetings often center on the Big Book for discussions. The Big Book is a collection of stories from women and men who overcame alcohol use disorder and is used to inspire clients.

Closed: In Georgia, closed AA meetings are not open to observers or members of the general public. Instead, only members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction are invited to attend. Members can share details about their recovery journey and newcomers are welcome to ask questions.

Men: Men in Georgia who are impacted by alcohol use disorder can seek an AA chapter that is designated only for men. These groups offer no-cost 12 Step Programs that center on health and recovery issues for men of all ages.

Step Meeting: In Georgia, step meetings are routine components of AA programs. Step meetings include discussions of passages from AA books like Twelve Steps, their personal progress, and plans for the next stage.
