Join This Year Aas Meeting

AA Recovery Meeting The AA recovery meeting I attended was at Club Soda. The meeting was open to any who wanted to join, male or female, and provided general discussion as well as discussions and readings about the big book and 12-steps. The members of the group began the meeting by turning in their log sheets for the group chairperson. The chairperson selected another member to help facilitate the meeting and they both introduced themselves as alcoholics and the chairperson discussed the rules

I first attended AA meetings as a requirement while I was in outpatient treatment in 2002. So when I learned that I had to go for a class assignment, I thought I would be comfortable attending a meeting. I was going with the intent on just sitting in the back and listening.

For my research paper, I decided to turn my focus to the people who suffer from alcohol addiction. I am trying to learn about people in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) because I want to know if the program is successful in order to inform my readers of the struggles and effects of alcoholism and binge drinking. I find it fascinating how someone can allow substances to take over their lives, and I respect those who have overcome such battles. I was unsure as to what my question would be, and still kind

Alcoholics Anonymous I attended the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting held at the Westhampton United Methodists Church, 6100 Patterson Ave, 23226, which is 3.8 miles away from my home.
