The best way 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 process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another addict which you will find in any AA meeting you choose as your first.
