It is important when coming to Alcoholics Anonymous that you pick a meeting that is best for where you are at in sobriety. The 1st type of AA meeting is a new comers meeting and is not only for new comers but is a meeting that inspires them to share their stories and accept help.

How to Get The Most From an AA Meeting in Sheffield, TX

In order to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should remain open minded. Everyone had preconceived notions of what these meeting were and generally it is the same misconception. The most beneficial thing I was told was to sit down, shut up, pay attention to the message, and humbly ask for help. No matter the type of meeting meeting, there will be the same message of recovering from hopelessness. The process of recovering from that hopeless state is in asking for help from another addict which you will find in any Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you choose to make your first.
