A closed meeting is closed to all but those with a desire to stop drinking. An open meeting is for alcoholics, those who wonder if they are alcoholic, and for those who just want more information on Alcoholism. Such distinctions are necessary so that people will feel comfortable sharing. If just anyone could come to any meeting, not much would get done.

Open meetings are a way to help spread awareness and understanding of the program to the public, while closed meetings are more focused on the needs of the members.
