12 Step Meetings

You can usually get the location of an appropriate 12 step meeting by calling the Alcoholics Anonymous office in any community. Simply tell them you wish to deal with your specific addiction and they will let you know which 12 step groups are available in the area.

A call to a local community help line may provide links to other services that cost money or have their own agenda's and would not be as effective.

Generally speaking, 12 step meetings are either:

•  Open to all people.
•  Closed to members only.

There are some other types of meetings that are aimed at specialty groups such as gay or lesbians, straight male or female groups as well. These groups often have some guidelines that make them specialty groups

All seem to offer good recovery basics and support.

Open Meetings

The most common definition of an open meeting is one where family or friends or other interested individuals are welcome to attend. The sharing at these meeting is generally not as in depth and more on a public information basis.

Closed Meetings

The most common definition of a closed meeting is one where only folks wishing to recover from their specific addiction are welcomed.

For more information on various 12 step meetings in your community please consult your local telephone book or contact your local crisis information service. 

What to expect at a 12 Step Meeting

•  Addicts are expected to share their experience, strengths and hopes.
  •  Whining and blaming are discouraged
  •  Individual issues are best discussed with a sponsor.
•  It is expected that the condition of anonymity be respected to provide everyone with a safe haven to recover in.

Who you see here, What you hear here, Let it stay here is the common motto of 12 step groups
