As an example, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) groups and meetings differ from each other. AA groups gather members at a specific place so that they can participate in AA meetings. A directory of AA meetings Illinois lists the various types of meetings offered by each group.
In some cases, AA meetings take place at prearranged locations (like schools or churches). The specialty groups can range from beginners’ groups, gender-specific groups such as men’s, women’s, or LGBT groups, to special AA groups for professionals such as lawyers or doctors. AA’s 12 Traditions, however, specify that any person who wishes to stop drinking may join the group, regardless of whether they meet the requirements for membership. In other words, you don’t necessarily have to be a doctor to join a doctor’s group. Ultimately, the goal in AA is to help each other get sober and stay sober, regardless of a person’s profession or gender.
