The Best Method of Selecting an AA Meeting in West Dover, VT

It is important when coming to AA that you pick 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 encourages members to share their stories and ask for help. The next type of meeting would be a gender specific meeting, which is only open to one gender. A Closed meeting simply means the group is closed to any discussion that does not involve how to maintain sobriety from alcohol. Talking about any other substance use addictions is not allowed. A Step Study is a meeting that is simply focused on a single step and discussed in length regarding the best approach to working this step and applying it to your daily life. Traditions meetings are focused around the 12 traditions of AA. The 12 traditions are different than the 12 steps. The traditions were created to maintain order throughout AA and maintaining accountability to these traditions is why you can join a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous anywhere in across the globe to hear the same message.

How to Get The Most From a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in West Dover, VT

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, listen to the message, and humbly ask for help. At any meeting, there will be the same message of recovering from a hopeless state of mind. 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 pick as your first.
