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 alcoholic seeking sobriety to come in and ask for help. These meetings in Manchester-by-the-sea, Massachusetts will help them build a support system to help guide them to sobriety. You will be invited in by your peers that have all lived and survived from addiction. Their survival of maintaining their sobriety is reliant on helping others and giving back to others the support that was given to them.
The Best Method of Choosing an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Manchester-by-the-sea, Massachusetts
It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you select a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. 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 them to share their stories and reach out for help. Another type of meeting would be a gender specific 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 maintain sobriety from alcohol. Talking about any other illicit substances is not allowed. A Step Study is a meeting that is simply a specific step and spoken about in length regarding the best approach to working this step and applying it to your daily life. Traditions meetings revolve around the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 traditions are different than 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 Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.
How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in Manchester-by-the-sea, Massachusetts
In order to get the most out of your first AA meeting you should remain 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, shut up, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, that one thing that won’t change is the 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 Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to start with.
