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.

Notes from the Group

Warriors Anonymous, a sanctioned A.A. Twelve Step specialty meeting for Military, Veterans, First Responders and EMS for our frontline warriors. This meeting is closed to these specific members. Open Speaker Meetings - Open to alcoholics and non-alcoholics – A speaker tells their story, describes experiences with alcohol, how they came to W.A., and how their lives have changed as a result. Open Discussion Meetings - Open to alcoholics and non-alcoholics - One member speaks briefly about his or her drinking/drug experience, and then leads a discussion on W.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem brought up in the course of the discussion. Closed Discussion Meetings - Uses the Open Discussion Meetings format, but for alcoholics or prospective W.A. members only. Step Meetings (usually closed) - Discussion of one of the Twelve Steps. On-Site Meetings - W.A. members also take meetings into correctional facilities and treatment settings.
