What Are AA Meetings All About?

AA can trace its origin to a book called Alcoholics Anonymous, which was written by Bill Wilson — one of the movement’s founders. Published in 1939 and widely read to this day, it contains the central tenets of what eventually became the 12 steps of AA and the 12 traditions of AA. It is sometimes known as The Big Book.

The central purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous is to help alcoholics live in sobriety. AA meetings in Miami, FL, all share this one, central purpose, but meeting formats vary. Some feature a main speaker or a group of speakers. Others involve book studies and/or group discussions. No one is required to talk if they do not want to and no personal information is required of anyone.

That person can be your “sponsor” and help keep you accountable. They can be a source of encouragement for you.
