Sober Atheists & Agnostics (Virtual)

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Michigan are not open to members of the general community. The only individuals who may attend are AA members and individuals who want to find help for alcohol addiction. This creates a welcoming space for members to share their recovery journey with others who have been through a similar experience.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Michigan usually revolve around a central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. The meeting leader will start by sharing their insights on the subject, which may be taken from an AA text such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they’ll invite others to share.

Secular: Secular AA meetings lack a faith-based component of healing and tend to focus on practical experiences and challenges. Secular meetings are usually attended by atheist, agnostic, and non-religious members.
