What is an AA Meeting?
Alcoholics Anonymous is a program created to help alcoholics stay sober. It is free to attend a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in South Dartmouth, MA as the funding is voluntary based only from its members.
Alcoholics Anonymous is among the most highly regarded programs in the United States and around the world that helps countless men and women overcome their alcohol addiction in the pursuit of lifelong recovery. They are usually small groups of people who share their recovery journey and are there to help new members stay sober.
How to Choose an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in South Dartmouth, MA
It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is suited for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of AA 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 accept help. The second type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, either a men’s meeting or women’s meeting. These types of meeting are not opened to the opposite sex. A Closed meeting simply means the group is solely focused on conversations regarding how to stay sober from alcohol. Talking about any other substance use addictions is not allowed. A Step Study is a gathering 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 are built to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and maintaining accountability to these traditions is why you can walk into a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous anywhere in the world to hear the same message.
How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in South Dartmouth, MA
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, listen to the message, and modestly ask for help. At any meeting, that one thing that will always be present is the 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 AA meeting you choose to pick as your first.
