Candlelight

Held by candlelight, usually a quieter evening format.

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.

Step

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

Young People

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

Beginners

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