In order to benefit the most from your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting you should remain open minded.

The best advice I ever got was to sit down, shut up, pay attention to the message, and humbly ask for help. Regardless of the 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 alcoholic which you will find in any AA meeting you choose as your first.
