General Information
There are 2 main types of meetings in Victoria, in-person and online. Check with the meeting information and if you wish you can contact the group if a contact number is given.
In-person Meetings
In-person meetings are held in community centres or church halls. They vary in size and format. The basic format is that there is a chairperson who calls people to speak. No one is obliged to speak if they do not want to. The person who speaks talks in a general way about what their drinking was like, how or why they decided to go to AA and what their life is like now. In AA this is called sharing.
Online Meetings
Many groups have created online meetings using a software program called 'Zoom'. These allow members to share in a group setting and see and hear each other. Note that you can participate without showing your face if you so wish.
