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").

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.

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.

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.

Young People

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

Notes from the Group

"PNWF is a fellowship rooted firmly in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and guided by the Twelve Traditions. This is a space where newcomers and old-timers alike can come together in unity, service, and recovery. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety, just as outlined in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. We read directly from the Big Book, share personal experience, strength, and hope, and keep our group grounded in the spiritual principles that have helped millions find freedom from alcoholism. Though we meet online, we’re not just a digital group — we encourage members to connect locally as well." Meeting ID 836 5333 0521 Password: 061035
