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.

Literature Study

The group reads from approved fellowship literature and discusses it.

Step Study

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