The 1st type of meeting is a new comers meeting and is not limited to only new comers but is a meeting that motivates them to share their stories and reach out for help.

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

In order 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 one piece of advice I was ever given was to sit down, stop talking, pay attention to the message, and modestly ask for help. No matter the type of meeting 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 start with.
