Meeting Log

Meetings

Meetings are where most people in recovery find their footing. By 2001, Alcoholics Anonymous counted about two million members in more than 100,000 groups.

Formats differ. At a speaker meeting, one member tells their story. At a discussion meeting, members share on a topic. A Big Book or step study reads the literature together. Open meetings welcome anyone, and closed meetings are for people who want to stop drinking.

The room above is in the Wilson House in East Dorset, Vermont, where Bill Wilson was born.

Proof of attendance

Courts, probation offices and treatment programs sometimes ask for proof that someone went to meetings, usually a signed card or sheet. Whether a meeting signs is up to each group, so ask the chairperson or secretary. A signature column keeps those signatures in one place instead of on loose slips.

How the module works

A table on the weekly spread with four columns: Date, Group, Format and Signature. It runs fourteen columns wide so a signature fits.

A note

Memari is not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous or any twelve-step fellowship, and a page in this book is not an official attendance record. Check with your court or program what they accept.
