Understanding the Different types of 12 Step Meetings in Missouri

Although there are many subtypes of meetings, there are only two main types. The two main types are open and closed meetings. Open meetings are open to the public for anyone including the curious to attend while closed meetings are for members and newcomers only.

Each meeting like Missouri NA Meetings has  a different topic or subtype. Two of the subtypes are Sharing meetings where everyone speaks and speakers meetings where someone who stopped their addiction speaks.
