Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is a collection of stories about men and women who overcame alcoholism. AA centers in Kentucky use the Big Book to inspire clients during group discussions.

Men: In Kentucky, men of all ages who are impacted by alcohol use disorder can enroll in a free 12 Step Program at an AA center. Select AA centers are designated only for men, and members concentrate on issues relating to men’s health and recovery.

Open: In Kentucky, anyone who wants to learn more about AA and the 12 step recovery model can attend an open AA meeting. These meetings are available to all members of the public, including alcoholics and nonalcoholics. In addition to providing practical tools and tips for recovery, they also help observers to better understand the program and its basic structure.
