Saturday Bay Mens Discussion

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Ohio, closed AA meetings are open to members only, including anyone seeking help for an alcohol addiction. The discussions center on topics related to alcoholism and recovery and all participants are invited to contribute.

Discussion: In Ohio, AA discussion meetings center around one specific aspect of alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders begin by sharing their own thoughts and experiences related to the topic, which often comes from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can join in and add their own reflections.

Men: Select AA chapters in Ohio are reserved only for men recovering from alcohol use disorder. These groups offer no-cost 12 Step Programs that facilitate the safe recovery of men of all ages.
