Discussion

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

Newcomer

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

Open

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

Speaker

One or more members share their story at length. Speaker meetings are a good fit if you would rather listen than talk.

Step Study

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