Monday Morning Ladies Big Book Group

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is a collection of stories about men and women who overcame alcoholism. AA centers in Kentucky use the Big Book to inspire clients during group discussions.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Kentucky give all members the chance to reflect on their alcohol addiction recovery journeys and share their hopes for the future. Leaders will normally open the meetings by reading from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Once they share their input on the topic, they’ll allow others to join the discussion.

Open: In Kentucky, anyone who wants to learn more about AA and the 12 step recovery model can attend an open AA meeting. These meetings are available to all members of the public, including alcoholics and nonalcoholics. In addition to providing practical tools and tips for recovery, they also help observers to better understand the program and its basic structure.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Kentucky are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcoholism, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. Held at various community locations, these meetings use a 12-step addiction recovery curriculum and are open to all women at no charge.
