What is an AA Meeting?

An Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting is a place to spread a message of strength, hope and courage to other alcoholics. This is a safe place for an addict seeking sobriety to come in and ask for help. These Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings in Bardstown, KY will help them build a support network to live a sober life.

The Best Method of Choosing an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Bardstown, KY

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not only for new comers but is a meeting that inspires them to speak their truth and accept help. Another 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 stay sober from alcohol. Talking about any other illicit substances is not allowed. A Step Study is a gathering that is simply a specific step and discussed in length regarding the best approach to working this step and applying it to your daily life. Traditions meetings are focused on the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 traditions are not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions were created to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and holding each group accountable to these traditions is the reason you can walk into an AA Meeting anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Bardstown, KY

In order to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should keep an 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, stop talking, pay attention to the message, and modestly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, there will be the same message of recovering from hopelessness. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another person suffering from alcoholism which you will find in any AA meeting you choose to start with.
