What people often wonder

Walking into a room can feel huge. Here is what many people find when they go.

• You can sit near the door and listen. Nobody has to speak.
• Meetings usually last about an hour. There is often coffee and a short reading.
• People introduce themselves by first name. You can use any name you like.
• Open meetings welcome visitors. Closed meetings are for people who want to stop drinking.

You can leave whenever you want. Plenty of people listen the first time.
