WOMEN’S WINNERS GROUP

Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in North Carolina are only open to AA members and individuals who realize they have a drinking problem and want to take steps toward recovery. Leaders will facilitate the informal discussion and newcomers will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Discussion: In North Carolina, AA discussion meetings focus on one specific subject related to alcohol addiction and recovery. Leaders will open by sharing the topic, which often comes from an AA text, such as the Big Book. Then, others can join in and add their own insights.

Women: North Carolina women’s AA meetings are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Free to attend for all women in the community, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings offer community support with the structure of a self-guided 12-step recovery program.
