Alcoholics Anonymous – Iowa Region — Statewide, IA
About This Group
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Iowa Region coordinates hundreds of AA meetings throughout the state of Iowa. From Des Moines to Cedar Rapids, Iowa City to Sioux City, AA provides accessible, free peer support for anyone seeking recovery from alcohol addiction through the proven 12-step program.
What to Expect
AA meetings in Iowa are available in multiple formats: open meetings (welcoming anyone interested in learning about AA), closed meetings (for those with a desire to stop drinking), speaker meetings, discussion meetings, Big Book study, and step study groups. At your first meeting, you’re welcome to simply listen — there’s no obligation to share. You’ll find a diverse community of people at various stages of recovery who share their experience and support one another. Coffee and fellowship before and after meetings are a common tradition.
