Meeting format notes
This is an open meeting — anyone may attend, including family members, friends, students and anyone curious about AA. You won't be asked to speak or identify as an alcoholic.
This is a speaker meeting: one or more members tell their story — what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now. Great format if you'd rather listen than share.
This is a beginners meeting — built for newcomers. Expect basics, patience, and people who remember their first meeting. Arrive a few minutes early and someone will likely greet you.
This is a young people's meeting — most attendees are in their teens, 20s or 30s, though all ages are welcome.
This group does step study — working through the Twelve Steps together, often with the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions book.
