How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Bakersfield, MO

The best way to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should remain open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions 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, stop talking, listen to the message, and modestly 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 addict which you will find in any meeting you choose as your first.
