Recovery Not Cancelled (RNC)

Types of AA Meetings

Literature: Maryland literature-based AA meetings are peer group meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction. Open to all to attend at no cost, these community support meetings offer a 12-step addiction recovery program and a study of the Big Book of AA and other AA literature.

Newcomer: AA newcomer meetings in Maryland give members a chance to share the AA recovery model with people who want help for alcohol addiction but aren’t familar with the 12 step program. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and may receive an overview of Steps 1, 2, and 3.

Speaker: Speakers are often part of an AA program to motivate audiences to harden their resolve against alcohol. In Maryland, speakers tend to use a mixture of humor, faith, charm, and raw emotions.
