What is an AA Meeting?

AA is a fellowship developed to help its members get sober. Attendance is free at a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Oak Park, Illinois as the funding is donated from its members.

AA is among the most commonly recognized 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. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are commonly made up of small groups of people who share their experiences achieving sobriety and are there to help new members get sober.

How to Choose an AA Meeting in Oak Park, Illinois

It is important when coming to AA that you choose a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that encourages them to speak their truth and reach out for help. Another type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, either a men’s meeting or women’s meeting. These types of meeting are closed to the opposite sex. 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 illicit substances 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 AA. The 12 traditions are not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout AA and holding each group accountable to these traditions is why you can join an AA Meeting anywhere in the world to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Oak Park, Illinois

In order 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, shut up, pay attention to the message, and modestly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, the one constant will be 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 to start with.
