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.

Ask a few people who are also participating in groups for recommendations. This is the surest way to get a hold of the group and its members. Individuals can learn firsthand the improvements made by the assembly towards their members. Talk to the individuals that participated in events to learn which type of meeting is the right one for you.

The speaker meeting is an assembly which requires one individual to do the talking on the entire session. The participants will not be participating actively. The speaker will fill the hour by speaking about the past experiences with addiction to alcohol and guide or instruct the members to follow it. Some will be made open to all the public.

The location and specific assembly can be formed by formal or casual meetings that are based depending on the location of event. Some could be located in churches but not totally engage in religious beliefs for the matter. Some assemblies will also encourage people to stop their addiction not only by alcohol but also drug and smoking addictions.

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.

Budgeting may be of little issues. All you will be required to do is participate in future events. However, it would be up to an individual to contribute money and other things to do some social activities with all members.
