Hey everyone. I'm new to alcoholics anonymous and am wondering where to find a good aa meeting in florida? I mean, I know they're all over the place down here, but I don't know the difference between open, closed, big book, step, etc. Thanks in advance!

An OPEN meeting allows the recovering alcoholic's friends/family members to attend, so they can get the essence of what AA is about. A CLOSED meeting is allowed only for those who identify as alcoholics in recovery. BIG BOOK meetings are usually closed, and the topics of discussion come from the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous', also known as the 'Big Book'. STEP STUDY meetings are usually closed, and are guides to suggestions for recovery found in the book 'Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions'. Hope this helps.
