How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Shoveltown, MO

In order to get the most out of 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 modestly ask for help. At any meeting, that one thing that won't change is the message of recovering from a hopeless state of mind. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another addict which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to start with.
