What is an AA Meeting?

An Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting is an assembly where alcoholics and people who struggle with addiction gather for one hour to share their experience, strength, and hope.

There is no religious, social or economic association for membership, just the yearn to achieve sobriety, and live a productive life without alcohol.

The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Shirley, New York

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you choose a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The 1st type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not only for new comers but is a meeting that inspires members to speak their truth 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 closed to any discussion that does not involve how to stay sober from alcohol. Talking about any other drugs is not allowed. A Step Study is a gathering 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 around 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 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 Shirley, New York

The best way to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should keep an open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The best advice I ever got was to sit down, shut up, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. At any meeting, there will be the same message of recovering from hopelessness. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another alcoholic which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to start with.
