Wautoma Thursday Morning Big Book Group

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: The Big Book is a collection of stories about real people who overcame alcoholism. AA programs in Wisconsin feature the Big Book in discussion groups to inspire participants.

Closed: In Wisconsin, closed AA meetings are not open to the general public and nonalcoholics cannot attend. The only people who may attend are AA members and individuals who understand they have a drinking problem and want to begin recovery. The discussions are informal and everyone can share.

Wheelchair Access: In Wisconsin, non-ambulatory clients participate in AA meetings through wheelchair access. Facilities may include exterior ramps, designated parking, and open floor spaces for safe navigation.
