| Open
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 A.A.
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 A.A.
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 A.A. as a whole. |
| Closed
Meetings |
These meetings
are limited to people with a problem with
alcohol. 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. |
