Meeting-specific guidance
Based on the format tags for this listing, it is closed to people who have a desire to stop drinking; speaker sharing is part of the format, so newcomers can mostly listen.
- If you are new, getting there a few minutes early makes it easier to ask where the room is.
- AA meetings are free, though groups may pass a basket for voluntary contributions.
- Confirm the time and location with the group or intergroup when possible, especially around holidays.

Meeting format notes
This is a closed meeting — attendance is limited to people who have a desire to stop drinking. If that's you, you belong here, even on day one.
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.
