Graves Street offers several types of meetings to cater to the diverse needs of individuals in recovery. Here are explanations of our common AA meeting types:
- Open Meetings: Open meetings welcome anyone interested in AA or alcoholism. This includes individuals who may not have a drinking problem but want to learn more about AA. Friends, family, and the general public are also welcome.
- Closed Meetings: Closed meetings are for individuals who have or think they may have a drinking problem. These meetings provide a safe and confidential environment for members to share their experiences and support one another.
- Speaker Meetings: In speaker meetings, a member shares their personal story of alcoholism, recovery, and how AA has helped them. These meetings can be inspirational and provide hope to those struggling with alcohol addiction.
- Discussion Meetings (Open & Closed): Discussion meetings involve group discussions on topics related to alcoholism, recovery, and the AA program. Members are encouraged to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
- Big Book Study Meetings: In Big Book study meetings, members study and discuss the teachings and stories in the “Big Book” of Alcoholics Anonymous, which outlines the principles of the AA program.
- Online Meetings: In recent years, many AA groups have started offering online meetings, allowing individuals to participate in meetings from anywhere with an internet connection.
Our AA group offers a different mix of meeting types based on the needs and preferences of its members. The primary goal of all AA meetings is to provide support, encouragement, and a sense of community to individuals seeking recovery from alcoholism
