In addition to individuals seeking support for alcohol addiction, this may include nonalcoholic friends, family members, and loved ones of AA members.

Step Meeting: In Mississippi, AA programs include step meetings for members. Group members converse about their experience in certain stages of the 12 Step Program, compare these experiences with each other, and make plans for ways to better their recovery.
