The 1st type of AA meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that inspires members to share their stories and accept help. The next type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, which is only open to either men or women.

The best way to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should keep an open minded. We all had an idea of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception.
