What is an AA Meeting?

A meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is a place where alcoholics and people who struggle with substance abuse gather for one hour to express their experience, strength, and hope.

There is no religious, social or economic association for membership, just the want to get sober, and live a productive existence without alcohol.

The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Lakewood Shores, Illinois

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of AA meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that inspires members to speak their truth and reach out for help. The second type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, which is only open to either men or women. A Closed meeting simply means the group is closed to any discussion that does not involve how to maintain sobriety from alcohol. Speaking of any other illicit substances is not allowed. A Step Study is a meeting that is simply a specific step and discussed in length regarding the best approach to working this step and applying it to your daily life. Traditions meetings are focused on the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 traditions are different than the 12 steps. The traditions were established to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and holding each group accountable to these traditions is why you can walk into an AA Meeting anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Lakewood Shores, Illinois

The best way to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should remain open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The most beneficial thing I was told was to sit down, stop talking, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, that one thing that won’t change is the message of recovering from hopelessness. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another person suffering from alcohol addiction which you will find in any meeting you choose to start with.
