What is an AA Meeting?

A meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is a place where alcoholics and people who struggle with drug use gather for one hour to discuss their experience, strength, and hope.

There is no religious, social or economic association for membership, just the want to stop drinking, and live a fulfilling existence without alcohol.

The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in West Miami, FL

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you select a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is a new comers meeting and is not solely for new comers but is a meeting that encourages them to speak their truth and reach out for help. The second type of meeting would be a single gender meeting, which is only open to either men or women. A Closed meeting simply means the group is closed to any discussion that does not involve how to maintain sobriety from alcohol. Speaking of 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 around the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 traditions are not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and holding each group accountable to these traditions is why you can attend an AA Meeting anywhere in the world to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in West Miami, FL

In order to get the most out of 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. The best advice I ever got was to sit down, stop talking, listen to the message, and modestly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, that one thing that won't change 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 addict which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose as your first.
