Young at Heart Group

Types of AA Meetings

Newcomer: In Tennessee, AA newcomer meetings give new members a chance to ask questions, share their personal experiences, and gain support from experienced members as they seek help for their drinking problem. These meetings may include an overview of what to expect for Steps 1 through 3.

Open: In Tennessee, open AA meetings are accessible to anyone from the public, including alcoholics and nonalcoholics. During the meeting, members can share their stories and provide information about the organization, while observers can listen and learn.

Young People: AA meetings for young people are intended for members in early adulthood, usually in their late teens and twenties. These groups focus on the experiences and issues that young people may face in their recovery.
