12x12

The meeting works through the Twelve Steps, often using the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions or a step working guide.

Discussion

A chair introduces a topic and members take turns sharing. This is the most common meeting format.

Literature

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Living Sober

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Open

Open meetings welcome anyone — family, friends, students, and people who are simply curious — not only those with a drinking or drug problem.

Wheelchair Access

The venue is reported as wheelchair accessible by the listing group. Call ahead if you need to confirm details like ramps or restrooms.

Notes from the Group

Meeting format rotates between Living Sober and either the 12 & 12 or a Candlelight meeting using the Grapevine or a short reading from other literature. Sometimes it takes 2 weeks to finish a Living Sober or 12 & 12 chapter, so Candlelight night cannot be predicted. Use the School St. side entrance to the meeting room.
