Understanding the Different types of 12 Step Meetings in Illinois

12 Step meetings consist of 2 different types and many different subtypes. The two basic types of 12 Step meetings are:

• Open meetings where anyone can attend regardless, if they are a member or not
• Closed meetings where only members or would be members often called beginners can attend

The subtype of meeting is most often the subject or content of the meeting. There are Big Book meetings, newcomers meetings, and sharing meetings to name a few that you will find in Illinois NA Meetings and every 12 step group.

12 Step Programs have been around since the 1930s and view addiction as a disease rather than a controllable failing. Programs like SMART believe that addiction is not a disease and you alone are responsible.
