What is an AA Meeting?
AA is a program created to help those who suffer from alcohol dependence obtain sobriety. There is no charge to attend a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Methuen, MA as the funding is donated from its members.
AA is one of most commonly recognized programs in the United States and around the world that helps countless men and women achieve sobriety in the pursuit of lifelong recovery. They are typically made up of small groups of individuals who share their experiences getting sober and are there to help new members obtain sobriety.
The Best Method of Selecting an AA Meeting in Methuen, MA
It is important when coming to AA that you select 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 limited to only new comers but is a meeting that inspires members to speak their truth and accept 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. Speaking of any other substance use addictions 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 are focused around the 12 traditions of AA. The 12 traditions are different than the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout AA and maintaining accountability to these traditions is why you can walk into a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.
How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Methuen, MA
The best way to benefit the most from 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 one piece of advice I was ever given was to sit down, shut up, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. Regardless of the meeting, that one thing that will always be present is the message of recovering from hopelessness. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another alcoholic which you will find in any AA meeting you choose to make your first.
