Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Hawaii are restricted to members of AA and anyone who has a drinking problem and wants to find help. The discussions are informal and everyone is encouraged to participate. Newcomers can benefit from these meetings as they ask questions and learn from members who have been sober for extended periods.

Daily Reflections: Daily Reflections is an AA text that compiles insight, experience, and encouragement from various members. Selected contents may be topics of discussions in AA meetings. Members can also adapt reflections into their daily activities.

Discussion: In Hawaii, AA discussion meetings allow members to share their opinions and reflections on a particular topic related to alcohol addiction recovery. The leader will typically open the meeting by referencing a relevant AA text, such as the Big Book or Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they will invite others to reflect on the topic in a group discussion.
