AA Meetings Atlanta: Big Book Groups for a Foundation in the Program
If you want some framework for your AA group, then it may be a good idea to visit Big Book meetings. At these sessions, you’ll dig deep into the literature of the Alcoholics Anonymous program and talk about the forward progress on your steps.
Big Book meetings are similar to step meetings but with a heavier emphasis on reading from the text. Afterward, there may be time to discuss matters pertaining to literature that you just read and where you might be in your walk away from a drinking problem.

A Sample of Top Step Meetings and Schedules
When it comes to the Alcoholics Anonymous program, the first thing that comes to mind for many is their signature framework of working the steps. It’s a proven way to stop drinking and to hold people accountable for their decisions. The group acts as a safe space for you to work through sober living.
While not everyone will be on the same step at the same time, this is a great way to dig deeper into your current situation and learn from those both ahead of and behind you. The Twelve Steps are fluid which means you may find yourself moving back and forth as you maintain sober living, whether following alcohol and drug rehab programs in Atlanta or when working the Steps again after many years sober.

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions Meetings
Some participants confine their discussion of the Twelve Steps to a stricter framework. Many meetings will talk about the Twelve Steps as well as the Twelve Traditions, giving members a meeting that allows them to discuss the basic tenets of the AA program.
There is a chapter on each of the 24 ideas in the Big Book, giving you plenty of reading material in both your own free time and as a group with other members.

Candlelight Meetings

Where to Attend Open Meetings
If you want to attend AA meetings where your loved ones can come along to see what it’s all about, then you may be looking for open meetings. As the name implies, these group meetings are open to anyone and everyone, whether they have been through an Atlanta detox and treatment center or are simply interested observers.
Even if they don’t have a drinking problem, you can attend open meetings as listed on the meeting schedule below. Sometimes these meetings will review special literature topics as well, such as the ‘Daily Reflections,’ or ‘As Bill Sees It,” but they are often speaker and share-style gatherings.
Make sure you’re okay sharing in a room filled with people at all ends of the spectrum or visit some of these meetings solely to introduce loved ones to the Twelve Step framework.
No matter what, they have an important role in the recovery process.
