The two most common kinds of AA meetings are:
Open Style Meetings:
As the term suggests, meetings of this type are open to alcoholics and
their families and to anyone interested in solving a personal drinking
problem or helping someone else to solve such a problem.
During the meeting there is usually a period for local AA announcements,
and a treasurer passes the hat to defray costs of the meeting hall,
literature, and incidental expenses. The meeting adjourns, often followed
by informal visiting over coffee or other light refreshments.
Guests at AA open meetings are reminded that any opinions or interpretations
they may hear are solely those of the speaker involved. All members are
free to interpret the recovery program in their own terms, but none can
speak for the local group or for AA as a whole.
Closed Style Meetings
:
These meetings are limited to alcoholics. They provide an opportunity for
members to share with one another on problems related to drinking patterns
and attempts to achieve stable sobriety. They also permit detailed discussion
of various elements in the recovery program.
