Daily Reflection
Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings
So, you’ve decided you want to
stop drinking and were thinking of going to a support group to get
help. You’re in luck because alcoholics anonymous meetings can be
found almost anywhere. Alcoholics Anonymous is an organization of
people who want to share their experiences, lend strength and help
the members and others recover from alcoholism. To be a member, all
you have to do is want to stop drinking. You don’t even have to pay
dues to go to alcoholics anonymous meetings. They pass the basket
but payment is not required.
There are two types of alcoholics
anonymous meetings – the open meeting and the closed meeting. The
open meetings will have speakers who will talk about how they drank,
how AA helped them and people will share experiences. Family members
and people interested in AA are welcome to attend open meetings.
Closed meetings are for alcoholics only. At these meetings members
may talk about personal problems, issues they have with sobriety,
and can get direct, personal help as they commit to staying sober
day by day. Other members may talk about the problems they
encountered and give strategies for how they overcame them.
