Types of AA Meetings

Concurrent with Al-Anon: AA meetings might be concurrent with Al-Anon, an organization composed of family members affected by relatives with alcohol use disorder. In these meetings, participants from both organizations discuss the challenges and successes they have experienced.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Wisconsin give all members the chance to speak on one common subject related to alcohol addiction and recovery. These topics may tie into an AA text, such as the Big Book. Leaders will share first, and then the floor is open for other members to provide their input.

Open: In Wisconsin, open AA meetings are available to everyone in the community. Any person interested in understanding more about AA and the 12 step recovery model is welcome to attend. During the meeting, members may share personal stories and experiences, allowing observers to listen and learn.
