It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you choose a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The first type of AA 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 reach out for help. The second type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, which is only open to either men or women.

How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Johnfarris, TX

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, shut up, listen to the message, and modestly ask for help. At any 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 AA meeting you choose to pick as your first.
