Day 4

Woohoo! Still sleeping like s*** but hey, I have a home, I have a wife I love, and I'm SOBER. Going to my 3rd meeting tonight. Does anyone know what "Open 12 & 12" means as far as the meeting type?

"Open" is for anyone, alcoholics, family, friends, researchers, clergy, whoever wants to go. "Closed" meetings are only for alcoholics.

12 and 12 is probably just the name of the meeting. In AA, the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions are the guiding principles of the program. Lots of AA stuff has references to 12 and 12.

Keep going, it will make sense! You're always welcome at any meeting, except "Women only" meetings.

You can read the AA materials, including the big book, "Alcoholics Anonymous" on their website.
