Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Minnesota's AA programs provide a lifeline of support through the 12 Steps and Tradiiaons recovery guidelines. These guidelines foster a community of recovery. Open meetings welcome all seeking sobriety, are peer or mentor-led, and help establish critical skills for success.

Closed: In Minnesota, closed AA meetings are restricted to members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to stop. Newcomers can ask questions to more experienced members, gaining insight and advice as they begin their recovery journey.
