12x12

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

Big Book

The group reads from and discusses the book Alcoholics Anonymous (the "Big Book").

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.

Open

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

Notes from the Group

This is a book study meeting that focuses on reading and discussing content from approved Alcoholics Anonymous literature. Each week, the group reads from texts such as the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, or other conference-approved AA materials, followed by open sharing and discussion related to the reading.
