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.
