The Best Method of Selecting an AA Meeting in McKittrick, CA

It is important when coming to AA that you select a meeting that is suited for where you are at in sobriety. The 1st type of Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that motivates them to share their stories and reach out for help. Another type of meeting would be a single gender meeting, which is only open to either men or women.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in McKittrick, CA

In order to benefit the most from your first AA meeting you should remain open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The best advice I ever got was to sit down, shut up, listen to the message, and graciously ask for help. At any 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 person suffering from alcohol addiction which you will find in any AA meeting you choose to make your first.
