The Best Method of Selecting an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Cooper, TX

The 1st type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not solely for new comers but is a meeting that encourages members to share their stories and reach out for help. Another type of meeting would be a single gender meeting, either a men’s meeting or women’s meeting. These types of meeting are not opened 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. Speaking of any other illicit substances is not allowed.

How to Get The Most From an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting in Cooper, TX

The best way to benefit the most from your first AA meeting you should remain open minded. We all had an idea of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The most beneficial thing I was told was to sit down, stop talking, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. At any meeting, that one thing that will always be present 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 meeting you choose to start with.
