Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Illinois are not open to outside observers. Instead, only AA members or individuals looking for help with a drinking problem are invited to attend. The discussions center around topics related to alcoholism and recovery and are of particular value to newcomers.

Men: In Illinois, AA groups that are designated for men only provide 12 Step Programs at no cost. In these meetings, men of all ages can discuss issues that pertain to their recovery from alcohol use disorder.

Women: Illinois AA meetings for women are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including those who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. These meetings use a 12-step recovery curriculum and are open to women of all ages at no charge.
