how it works aa explained
There are also âBig Bookâ or âStep Meetingsâ where AA literature such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions or Alcoholics Anonymous are read and discussed. An AA meeting may be âopenâ or âclosed.â In closed meetings, only alcoholics (or individuals with a desire to stop drinking) may attend. Open meetings are open to anyone, including family or friends of an alcoholic. Meetings may also address a specific population such as women or men only or gays and lesbians.
