Open, Step, Tradition, Big Book
Hey. I know I have been posting a lot lately.
A member (LBrain) said that they thought the 12 steps would be good for me.
I've been doing some reading and I notice that there are 4 different types of meetings.
Whats the difference between them? I know what an open meeting is as I have been to one before.
