What is an AA Meeting?

An AA Meeting is a program where alcoholics and people who struggle with substance abuse gather for one hour to discuss their experience, strength, and hope. AA Members who attend an Alcoholic’s Anonymous meeting in West Des Moines, Iowa will share their experience getting sober through their personal anecdotes with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem. There is no religious, social or economic association for membership, just the wish to stop drinking, and live a productive life without alcohol.

The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in West Des Moines, Iowa

Alcohol Addiction is a disease of the mind, body, and soul. Alcoholics Anonymous has created meetings to help with each individual piece of your sobriety. If you are searching for a meeting on the 1st three steps, beginner meetings are for you. If you are looking to explore your spiritual side, attending a meditation meeting would be a good choice. If you are in search of another individuals story of how they overcame alcoholism, a speaker meeting is where you need to be. If you have completed your steps and are now working on the traditions of AA, a traditions meetings will be beneficial. If you want to attend a single gender group, you can go to a men’s or women’s meeting where only people of your gender will be present. All in all there is a meeting for everyone. Try them out until you find one that fits your needs.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in West Des Moines, Iowa

The most successful members of AA tend to find success through going more for the program than just attending meetings. For people who are attending their first AA meeting and really want to get sober, we recommend following the suggestions of the AA members that have come before you.

It is smart to accept where you are at with you sobriety and accept help. Part of staying sober is helping the new people of AA in West Des Moines maintain their sobriety, so people are going to be more than willing to help you not drink too. Raise your hand, say who you are, admit that you need help.
