Conscious Contact: Sit and Share

Meeting Format

• Big Book
• Discussion
• Birthday
• Open

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.

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 an Eleventh Step Meditation meeting. After some opening readings, we will have a 20-minute meditation (sometimes silent and sometimes guided) followed by open sharing for the rest of the meeting. Questions about meditation practice can be addressed in the parking lot after the meeting.
