12x12

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

Newcomer

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

Big Book

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

Closed

Closed meetings are limited to people who have a desire to stop drinking or using. If you are not sure whether you qualify, an open meeting is the usual first stop.

Daily Reflections

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Discussion

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

Living Sober

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Meditation

Includes a period of silent or guided meditation, usually followed by sharing.

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.

Women

Attendance is limited to women. Many groups welcome anyone who identifies as a woman; check with the group if you are unsure.
