Types of AA Meetings
Closed: In Georgia, closed AA meetings are not open to observers or members of the general public. Instead, only members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction are invited to attend. Members can share details about their recovery journey and newcomers are welcome to ask questions.
Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Georgia are led by a speaker, who opens the meeting by sharing a general topic to discuss. This topic is typically derived from an AA text, such as AA Grapevine or the Big Book. Once the speaker shares their input on the topic, they will open the floor for others to give their opinions and reflections.
Newcomer: In Georgia, AA newcomer meetings are designed for individuals who are uninitiated with the AA program and 12 step model of recovery. These discussions allow space for them to ask questions and learn more, with talking points usually centered on Steps 1 through 3.
Open: In Georgia, anyone in the community can attend open AA meetings. These are available to individuals recovering from alcohol use disorder as well as nonalcoholics who want to learn more about the AA program and how the 12 step recovery model operates. The meetings are informative in nature and may include member input.
Step Meeting: In Georgia, step meetings are routine components of AA programs. Step meetings include discussions of passages from AA books like Twelve Steps, their personal progress, and plans for the next stage.
Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
Wheelchair Access: In Georgia, AA centers with wheelchair access generally feature ramps and designated parking spots, as needed. The center’s layout allows for safe navigability for clients to participate in the meeting.
