What are A.A. meetings?* Alcoholics Anonymous is established in over 180 countries. The
people in each group get together, usually once or twice a week, to
hold A.A. meetings, of two main types:
At “open meetings,” speakers tell how
they drank, how they discovered A.A., and how its program has helped
them. Members may bring relatives or friends, and usually anyone
interested in A.A. is also welcome to attend open meetings.”

“Closed meetings” are for alcoholics only.
These are group discussions, and any members who want to may speak
up, to ask questions and to share their thoughts with fellow
members. At “closed meetings,” A.A.s can get help with personal
problems in staying sober and in everyday living. Some other A.A.s
can explain how they have already handled the same problems — often
by using one or more of the Twelve Steps.
