Types of AA Meetings

Candlelight: Candlelight AA meetings are sessions in which members bring candles, usually white, that represent their hopes and goals. When each member shares, that member lights their candles as they discuss their challenges and successes.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Nevada are structured around a central theme. The leader will start by sharing the topic, which may come from an AA text such as the Big Book or As Bill Sees It. After sharing their insights and offering encouragement to others, they’ll invite members to participate in the conversation.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Nevada are peer support 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 alcohol addiction, these group meetings follow a 12-step recovery program.
