Types of AA Meetings

LGBTQ: Selected AA chapters focus on providing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, and generally welcome LGBTQ+ allies. These groups prioritize members’ recovery and sobriety within a non-heteronormative context.

Lesbian: Lesbian AA meetings are intended as safe spaces for homosexual women and their allies to meet. Discussions generally focus on issues and challenges that lesbians face in their recovery.

Open: In Oregon, open AA meetings are available to anyone in the community. They are not restricted to members only, instead allowing all interested parties to attend and learn more about how AA works, what the 12 step model of recovery includes, and how they can support their friends or loved ones battling alcohol addiction.
