What happens in 12-step meetings?

0

It is your choice to speak or not during meetings. Members are available to answer questions before or after the meetings. Some meetings are open and some are closed. Open meetings function more like presentations whereas closed meetings are group discussions. In closed meetings, members generally focus discussion on a topic – some groups choose to discuss a recovery principle or one of the 12 steps. There are no dues or fees. Most groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions. Members are asked to contribute what they can afford, so that the group can pay rent, provide literature and offer support to local and worldwide service centres. While meetings are often held in churches and the program is spiritual in nature, all faiths and non-faiths are welcome.
