ST. JOHN’S NOON

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Louisana, closed AA meetings are only available for members of AA and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. This allows participants to share details about their recovery that are best understood by other alcoholics. The discussions are informal and everyone can participate.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Louisiana are conversational in nature. Group leaders will begin by sharing a key topic related to alcoholism and recovery, often reading a related passage from an AA text, such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After they share their reflections on the topic, they’ll invite others to participate.
