1st STEP meetings occur when a
person who may have a substance abuse / alcohol / behavioral
problem attends a meeting for the first time any time, anywhere.
This meeting allows the group to tell a little about how it was,
what happened, and what it’s like now. Usually this meeting
instills hope in the person and reveals a common bond with those
in the group. Newcomers are allowed at Closed meetings. Speaker
meetings are not allowed to become 1st Step meetings, however,
most others are, because we can only keep what we have by giving
it away.

men only. May be Open or Closed.

WOMEN’S meetings are reserved
for women only. May be Open or Closed.

PODIUM meetings are where the
group is too large for a typical discussion meeting and each
