The first type of Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is a new comers meeting and is not solely for new comers but is a meeting that motivates them to speak their truth and reach out for help.

How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in Harrison City, PA

In order to get the most out of 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, shut up, listen to the message, and graciously ask for help. No matter the type of meeting 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 person suffering from alcohol addiction which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to make your first.
