TYPES OF MEETINGS
There are two kinds of AA meetings. Open Meetings and Closed Meetings.
Open Meetings
An open meeting of A.A. is a group meeting that any member of the community, alcoholic or nonalcoholic, may attend. The only obligation is that of not disclosing the names of AA members outside the meeting. A typical open meeting will usually have a “chairperson” and other speakers.
Closed Meetings
In support of A.A.’s singleness of purpose, attendance at closed meetings is limited to persons who have a desire to stop drinking. If you think you have a problem with alcohol, you are welcome to attend this meeting. We ask that when discussing problems, confine discussion to those problems as they relate to alcoholism.
