“Open” means anyone may attend — including family, friends, and anyone curious about the program.
Notes
Open meeting (everyone is welcome). On Fridays, we have a "stick meeting." The topic for the evening is chosen randomly from a batch of sticks labeled with various AA topics.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who help each other recover from alcoholism. There are no dues or fees, and the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
