Newcomer

Designed for people in their first days or weeks. The format usually covers the basics of the program and how meetings work.

Discussion

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

LGBTQ

Hosted by and for LGBTQ+ members. Most are open to allies; the group listing will say if attendance is restricted.

Literature

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.

Young People

Young people's meetings are aimed at members in their teens, twenties, and thirties, though anyone may attend.
