Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Idaho, closed AA meetings are only available to members and individuals seeking help for alcoholism. This allows participants to share personal details about their recovery journeys without outside observance. Discussions are casual and everyone is encouraged to participate.

Discussion: In Idaho, AA discussion meetings center around a core topic that relates to alcoholism and recovery. Meeting leaders will typically begin by sharing insights from an AA text, such as AA Grapevine, before opening the floor for others to share their own reflections about the subject.
