An AA Meeting is an assembly where alcoholics and people who struggle with substance abuse gather for one hour to share 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 life without alcohol.

How to Choose an AA Meeting in Rochester, Illinois

It is important when coming to AA that you choose a meeting that is suited for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not only for new comers but is a meeting that inspires them to share their stories and reach out for help. Another type of meeting would be a single gender meeting, which is only open to one gender. A Closed meeting simply means the group is solely focused on conversations regarding how to stay sober from alcohol. Talking about any other illicit substances is not allowed. A Step Study is a gathering that is simply a specific step and spoken about in length regarding the best approach to working this step and applying it to your daily life. Traditions meetings are based off the 12 traditions of AA. Not to be confused with the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout AA and holding each group accountable to these traditions is the reason you can join a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Rochester, Illinois

The best way to get the most out of your first AA meeting you should remain open minded. We all had an idea of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The one piece of advice I was ever given was to sit down, stop talking, pay attention to the message, and humbly ask for help. No matter the type of meeting meeting, there will be the same message of recovering from a hopeless state of mind. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another addict which you will find in any meeting you choose to make your first.
