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.
