The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Penrose, AR

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is suited 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 motivates them to speak their truth and accept help. The second type of meeting would be a single gender 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 maintain sobriety 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 based off the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. Not to be confused with the 12 steps. The traditions were established to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and maintaining accountability to these traditions is why you can join a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous anywhere in the world to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in Penrose, AR

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, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, that one thing that will always be present is the message of recovering from a hopeless state of mind. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another person suffering from alcohol addiction which you will find in any AA meeting you choose as your first.
