What is a closed AA meeting?
A closed Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting is a private and confidential gathering designed exclusively for individuals who acknowledge they have a drinking problem and are seeking help to achieve or maintain sobriety. Participation is limited to those who personally identify as having a desire to stop drinking, which fosters a safe and supportive environment grounded in mutual understanding and shared experience.
Unlike open meetings, which welcome anyone interested in learning about the AA program—including friends, family members, students, or professionals—closed meetings prioritize the privacy and anonymity of attendees. This setting encourages open, honest, and vulnerable sharing without fear of judgment or outside scrutiny.
In a closed meeting, members typically discuss their struggles with alcohol, the impact of addiction on their lives, and their efforts to apply the Twelve Steps of AA. The atmosphere is often one of empathy, acceptance, and mutual respect, as everyone present shares a common goal: recovery. This format provides a powerful sense of community and accountability that can be essential for individuals at any stage in their sobriety journey.


SINCE 2002
For years, the Red Cloud Serenity Club has been a cornerstone of the Ute Pass community, providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals on their journey to sobriety. As a vital resource, we offer a welcoming space where those struggling with addiction can find refuge, sober up, and connect with others who understand their challenges.
However, maintaining and improving our services comes with ongoing financial challenges. In today’s world, staying connected and equipped with modern technology is crucial for providing the best possible support to those in need. We are actively working to upgrade our technology to enhance our outreach, communication, and overall effectiveness in serving the community.
