Village Woman’s Step

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Rhode Island are not available to the general public. Participation is limited to AA members and people seeking help for alcohol addiction. Discussions focus on alcoholism and related topics that are best understood by members with similar experiences.

Step Meeting: Rhode Island AA groups use step meetings within the 12 Step Program process. Clients discuss how their experience matches the steps as discussed in AA literature and make suggestions on how to improve their resilience for the next meeting.

Women: Rhode Island women’s AA meetings are group meetings for women who are impacted by alcoholism - those who are suffering from alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcohol addiction. Welcoming women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program and are free to attend.
