What is an AA Meeting?
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship created to help those who struggle from dependence to alcohol achieve sobriety. Attendance is free at a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in North Andover, Massachusetts as the funding is voluntarily contributed from its members.
Alcoholics Anonymous is among the most commonly recognized programs in the United States and around the world that helps countless men and women get sober in the pursuit of lifelong recovery. They are usually small groups of recovering alcoholics who share their experiences achieving sobriety and are there to help new members achieve sobriety.
The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in North Andover, Massachusetts
It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The 1st type of Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that encourages members to share their stories and accept help. Another type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, which is only open to one gender. A Closed meeting simply means the group is solely focused on conversations regarding how to maintain sobriety from alcohol. Talking about any other illicit substances is not allowed. A Step Study is a meeting that is simply focused on a single 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 not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions were implemented to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and holding each group accountable to these traditions is the reason you can join an AA Meeting anywhere in the world to hear the same message.
How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in North Andover, Massachusetts
In order to benefit the most from your first AA meeting you should keep an open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions 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, shut up, pay attention to the message, and modestly ask for help. At any meeting, that one thing that won’t change is the 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 AA meeting you choose as your first.
