Third Step Candlelight Group

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in New Jersey AA meetings frequently find inspiration in the Big Book. The Big Book is an anthology of real stories about men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Candlelight: Candlelight AA meetings are sessions in which members bring candles, usually white, that represent their hopes and goals. When each member shares, that member lights their candles as they discuss their challenges and successes.

Open: Open AA meetings in New Jersey allow anyone who wants to learn more about AA to attend a session. During this time, members will share their experiences and recovery journey with AA, allowing attendees to learn firsthand how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes.

Wheelchair Access: In New Jersey, non-ambulatory clients can access AA centers through wheelchair access. Clients may have designated parking spaces, exterior ramps, and open floor plans.
