AA meetings are typically free to attend. Alcoholics Anonymous operates on a self-supporting basis through voluntary contributions from its members. While there is no requirement to contribute financially, it is common for members to donate a small amount during meetings to cover expenses such as rent, coffee, and literature. However, if you are unable to contribute, do not let this deter you from attending meetings. The primary focus of AA is to provide support and resources for those seeking help with their addiction, regardless of their financial situation.
