How to Choose an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Bristol, TX

It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is suited for where you are at in sobriety. The 1st type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not solely for new comers but is a meeting that motivates them to share their stories and accept help.

How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in Bristol, TX

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, stop talking, pay attention to the message, and graciously 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 person suffering from alcoholism which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to make your first.
