What is an AA Meeting?

An AA Meeting is a place where alcoholics and people who struggle with addiction gather for one hour to express their experience, strength, and hope. AA Members who attend an Alcoholic's Anonymous meeting in Armbrust, PA will share their experience getting sober through their personal anecdotes with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem. There is no religion, creed or race, for membership, just the desire to stop drinking, and live a happy & healthy existence without alcohol.

The Best Method of Selecting an AA Meeting in Armbrust, PA

It is important when coming to AA that you choose a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is a new comers meeting and is not only for new comers but is a meeting that inspires members to share their stories and accept help. The second type of meeting would be a single gender meeting, either a men’s meeting or women’s meeting. These types of meeting are closed to the opposite sex. 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 substance use addictions is not allowed. A Step Study is a meeting that is simply focused on a single step and discussed 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 not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout AA and holding each group accountable to these traditions is why you can attend a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.
