Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Washington, closed AA meetings are only available to members of AA and people who want to find help for alcohol addiction. Nonalcoholics and general members of the community cannot attend these discussions, which center on topics related to alcoholism and recovery.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Washington give all members the chance to talk about a certain topic that relates to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will select the topic beforehand, often referencing an AA text, such as the Big Book, for inspiration. They will share first, then others can add their own reflections.

Wheelchair Access: Washington AA centers generally provide wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. These features may include open meeting rooms, restroom access, and amenities. Exterior ramps and designated parking assist in making facilities safe for navigation.
