How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Golden Gate, FL

In order to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous 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 graciously 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 addict which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to start with.
