Open and Closed Meeting Definition in Accordance with General Service Office (G.S.O.) of Alcoholics Anonymous
​
Open discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)
​
Closed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.
7TH Tradition
​
The A.A. groups themselves ought to be fully supported by the voluntary contributions of their own members. We think that each group should soon achieve this ideal; that any public solicitation of funds using the name of Alcoholics Anonymous is highly dangerous, whether by groups, clubs, hospitals, or other outside agencies; that acceptance of large gifts from any source, or of contributions carrying any obligation whatever, is unwise. Then, too, we view with much concern those A.A. treasuries which continue, beyond prudent reserves, to accumulate funds for no stated A.A. purpose. Experience has often warned us that nothing can surely destroy our spiritual heritage as futile disputes over property, money, and authority.
