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.
