A Community Resource for Recovery
At YANA of Newport, our Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings provide a safe, supportive space for individuals seeking freedom from alcohol addiction. Rooted in the Twelve Steps, AA encourages open sharing, mutual support, and spiritual growth. Whether you’re new to sobriety or have been on the path for years, our meetings offer a welcoming community where you’re never alone. We host a variety of AA meeting formats, including discussion meetings, Big Book and literature-based meetings, and meditation-based gatherings.
Our AA meetings are open to anyone with a desire to stop drinking. Held in-person and via Zoom, they are accessible to all, regardless of schedule or location. With consistent daily and weekly meeting times, YANA serves as a trusted recovery hub for the greater Newport community. Come as you are—there’s no pressure, no judgment, just the chance to connect and heal with others who understand.

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)
Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) meetings at YANA of Newport offer support for those who grew up in dysfunctional, alcoholic, or otherwise chaotic homes. ACA is a Twelve Step program that helps individuals heal from the lasting emotional and psychological impacts of their upbringing. In these meetings, members work through unresolved trauma, build healthy boundaries, and reclaim their sense of self in a safe, validating environment.
ACA meetings at YANA are open, compassionate spaces where members can connect and grow together. The program empowers adults to overcome the past and build a more balanced future by addressing patterns of codependency, fear, and control. Whether you’re just discovering ACA or continuing your healing journey, you’re welcome to join us in person or online for support, insight, and shared strength.
