What is an AA Meeting?

A meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is a program where alcoholics and people who struggle with substance abuse gather for one hour to discuss their experience, strength, and hope.

There is no religious, social or economic association for membership, just the desire to achieve sobriety, and live a productive existence without alcohol.

The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Walnut Grove, TN

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous 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 only for 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 either men or women. A Closed meeting simply means the group is solely focused on conversations regarding 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 based off the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 traditions are not the same as the 12 steps. The traditions are built to maintain order throughout Alcoholics Anonymous and holding each group accountable to these traditions is why you can walk into an AA Meeting anywhere in the world to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in Walnut Grove, TN

In order to benefit the most from your first AA meeting you should remain open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The best advice I ever got was to sit down, stop talking, pay attention to the message, and humbly ask for help. At any meeting, there will be the same message of recovering from a hopeless state of mind. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another alcoholic which you will find in any meeting you choose to start with.
