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.

LGBTQ

Hosted by and for LGBTQ+ members. Most are open to allies; the group listing will say if attendance is restricted.

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.

Women

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

Young People

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