Types of AA Meetings

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.

Newcomer: AA newcomer meetings in New Hampshire help explain the basic tenets of AA to individuals who are new to the program. During this time, they can ask questions, participate in discussions, and learn more about how the 12 step recovery model operates.

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.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.

Women: New Hampshire women’s AA meetings are peer group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Free to attend and open to all women in the community, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these support meetings use a 12-step program for addiction recovery.
