It is important when coming to AA that you pick a meeting that is suited for where you are at in sobriety. The 1st type of AA meeting is a new comers meeting and is not solely for new comers but is a meeting that motivates members to share their stories and ask for help.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Salina, IA

In order to get the most out of 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 best advice I ever got was to sit down, shut up, pay attention to the message, and humbly ask for help. At any 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 Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to start with.
