Beginners

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

Basic Text

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Closed

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.

Just for Today

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Speaker/Discussion

One or more members share their story at length. Speaker meetings are a good fit if you would rather listen than talk.

Step

The meeting works through the Twelve Steps, often using the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions or a step working guide.

Topic

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