Types of AA Meetings

Discussion: In Mississippi, AA discussion meetings are focused on one specific aspect of alcoholism and recovery. Leaders may find inspiration in an AA text, such as the AA Grapevine. They’ll share their reflections first and then others can participate in the group conversation.

Open: In Mississippi, open AA meetings allow all interested community members to come together and learn more about what AA entails and how its recovery model works. In addition to individuals seeking support for alcohol addiction, this may include nonalcoholic friends, family members, and loved ones of AA members.

Speaker: Speakers are often included in Mississippi AA programs. Audiences can be inspired by speakers’ messages through humor, charm, raw emotions, and faith.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Mississippi are peer support group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Open to all women at no charge, including women with alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings follow a 12-step recovery program.
