Depends on if it's an open or closed meeting

Open meetings get about the same as Bballdad

Quote:
In keeping with our singleness of purpose and our Third Tradition which states that "The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking," we ask that all who participate confine their discussion to their problems with alcohol and recovery from alcoholism.
and add if you have had a drink in the last 24 hours to please not share

The kicker is they have a "timekeeper" with an 'alarm" that goes off, 10-15 minutes for the "chair" depending on the meeting, and 3-5 minutes for normal shares depending on the meeting.

I actually have come to love the alarm, there's something about STFU you have been talking long enough that gives me the warm fuzzies and makes my bottom feel funny, i start getting uncomfortable at other meetings and start looking around for the "time Police" if someone starts yammering now.
