Varnell 12 Steps & 12 Traditions Group

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Georgia, closed AA meetings are not open to observers or members of the general public. Instead, only members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction are invited to attend. Members can share details about their recovery journey and newcomers are welcome to ask questions.

Step Meeting: In Georgia, step meetings are routine components of AA programs. Step meetings include discussions of passages from AA books like Twelve Steps, their personal progress, and plans for the next stage.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.
