How To Prepare For Meeting In Alcoholics Anonymous

By Christopher Snyder


Alcoholics anonymous are an international friendship and fellowship of women and men who have a dangerous drinking problem. This group is non professional, apolitical, multiracial, self supporting and available mostly everywhere especially in western countries. The assembly does not require a person to meet a certain age or educational attainment in order to become a member. The meeting is open to anyone that wants to do something about their problems in regards to drinking alcohol. When it comes to leaving aa, individuals who have drinking problems must not think twice in participating with the group to relive themselves of this addiction.

When looking for an AA group, try searching in your local area. If no groups are being found, try looking in yellow pages and books or local newspapers. They may be some list available that will point you into the right direction. If no AA group is visible, try going to a local treatment facility that will assist for a persons addiction towards alcoholism.

The big book meetings are the type that uses the big books and spark a discussion between all members. The pages within the book will be read loud and clear and all members will take turns in reading it on front. The room will be filled with discussion pertaining in the pages of the book.

When attending the first session, try to find a buddy. If there is someone who can accompany or a person who is close to you and a member of the particular group, tell them to stay close. It is important to feel comfortable especially when its your first time. Participating in the sessions will take courage and perseverance.

The meetings are not being governed by one person. No one is considered as the leader. But instead, everyone can talk and make topic during the group assembly. The only leader is a chairperson who will take the lead. The assembly will be started by people who have already spent some time in the AA for years.

The open and closed type is for anybody who has the addiction but the discussions are strictly for members only. Some members do not follow the groups distinction and participants does not fully understand the methods. Newcomers will always be welcomed to participate as well.

The special purpose type is open to all participants to offer alternative methods and still continue to drink especially during occasions. The member is only limited a few glasses of drinks per occasion. Members can still continue to drink but only on occasions.

Get testimonials from current members. They can recommend a few crucial things that will improve your courage into participating. They will also suggest important things to a person and set them into the right meeting suited for their problems.

Price is not a problem for people who wanted to be a part of AA. The service is open to all people and they do not have to pay any membership fees. However, donations are also appreciated especially when all members want to conduct some parties for all the members and participants.
