Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is a regular subject of discussion in New Hampshire AA meetings. This anthology contains stories about real men and women who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in New Hampshire focus on one specific topic related to alcohol addiction and recovery. These topics normally come from an AA text, such as the Big Book. The leader will share the topic, add their personal insights, and open the floor for members to share reflections.

Hybrid: Hybrid AA meetings are discussions that are simultaneously virtual and in-person. One in-person participant is generally responsible for monitoring the virtual platform, including the chat room and hands raised, and making sure that online members have a chance to participate.

Step Meeting: New Hampshire AA centers feature step meetings in their programs. Members read from AA texts, discuss their progress with the stage in the 12 Step Program, and make plans for future progress in the next meeting.

Wheelchair Access: New Hampshire AA meetings may include wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. These centers may feature open floor plans, exterior ramps, and designated parking spaces.
