The 1st type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that encourages members to share their stories and ask for help.

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

The best way to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should keep an 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. Regardless of the 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 alcoholic which you will find in any meeting you choose to start with.
