What is an AA Meeting?
AA is a program created to help those who struggle from alcohol abuse get sober. Attendance is free at an AA Meeting in Afton, Iowa as the funding is voluntary based only from its members.
AA is among the most highly regarded programs in the United States and around the world that helps countless men and women overcome their addiction to alcohol in the pursuit of lifelong recovery. They are usually small groups of people who share their recovery journey and are there to help new members get sober.
How to Choose an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Afton, Iowa
It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you select a meeting that is suited for where you are at in sobriety. The first 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 accept help. The next type of meeting would be a single gender meeting, which is only open to one gender. A Closed meeting simply means the group is closed to any discussion that does not involve how to stay sober from alcohol. Speaking of any other drugs is not allowed. A Step Study is a gathering that is simply focused on a single step and spoken about 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. The 12 traditions are not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and maintaining accountability to these traditions is the reason you can walk into an AA Meeting anywhere in the world to hear the same message.
How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Afton, Iowa
In order to benefit the most from your first AA meeting you should keep an open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The most beneficial thing I was told was to sit down, stop talking, listen to the message, and modestly ask for help. No matter the type of meeting meeting, there will be the same 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 meeting you choose to start with.
