Meeting Format

• Big Book
• Newcomer
• Discussion
• Meditation
• Open
• Speaker

Big Book

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

Newcomer

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

Discussion

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

Meditation

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

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.

Notes from the Group

Pratt Institute Counseling Services has offered us this seminar classroom space, but this meeting is open to all who want to recover from cannabis addiction. We use a rotating format including literature, meditation, speakers, writing and topics. Email: [email protected]
