I could be wrong but my understanding is
A "Closed Discussion" meeting welcomes anyone – family or friend – who has been affected by someone else's drinking. Meetings offer a safe place where people can come and talk about dealing with the family disease of alcoholism.
An "Open Discussion" meeting allows attendance by those interested in learning about Al-Anon Family Groups (professionals, students, etc.). All present at an open meeting should be aware that the assurance of anonymity
Same with Nar-Anon, and Families Anonymous any of these 3 could be useful we do not have Nar-Anon in my town soo I attend Families Anonymous.
