Thursday Men’s Study Group

Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Oregon's AA embraces the 12 Steps and Traditions and provides a lifeline of support for individuals on their journey to sobriety. Meetings flexible, peer led, and offer a safe space for individuals and their loved ones to find the support they need.

Big Book: In Oregon, AA participants use the Big Book as a source of inspiration. They actively discuss the stories of real people in the book who overcame alcohol use disorder.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Oregon are not open to the public. Community members cannot sit in and observe. Instead, the only attendees are AA members and individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.

Men: AA chapters in Oregon provide free 12 Step Programs for members recovering from alcohol use disorder. Men may participate in men-only groups to address issues that specifically concern their health and recovery.

Wheelchair Access: Oregon AA centers can include wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients, which can include designated parking and exterior ramps. Interior features can include open floor spaces to access meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
