AA REACTION PAPER

1. I did not really know what exactly to expect before the meeting, because I never been to a AA meeting and I was kind of excited to go and hear peoples stories about their addictions and dependency.

    Similar illness in one community suggests that there must be a connection between the environment and the illnesses. Acting on that hunch, I would conduct interviews with the families and people that are affected. All ideas and procedures in this easy can be found in chapter 10. (Ruggiero, 2012). I would ask them when did the symptoms start and what their official diagnosis, if any, has their doctor gave them. The assumptions that the land itself has to be the source of the contamination could hinder the investigation. To critically think about the issue I will have to brainstorm some questions to be answered. What company or companies built the houses? Who was in…

    Hello everyone, I went to my first NA/ AA meeting tonight and could not wait to discuss the outcome. The main thing I found interesting is many people was in recovery for years. At least 10 people was clean over 5 years, but continue to attend meetings as part of their recovery process or to maintain clean. Also, many people became addicted to drugs due pain management. Speaking about knee pain, back pain, several people was in car accidents or hurt at work. Regular pain medication was not working and they wanted something stronger that turns into an addiction. Or they did not want to feel severe pain and kept taking pain medicine to prevent being in pain. Then emotional pain was also a discussion, causing people to abuse alcohol and drugs…

    The meeting began with some readings. I read on the AA Promises which I thought was a waste of time. In my opinion I felt like they should have left the readings for you to read to yourself because the meetings are on a time frame and people seem to have a lot of other important issues to talk about and be concerned with other than reading the same readings every time.…

    My first experience at an alcoholics anonymous meeting was very interesting and in a way uplifting. At All Saints Lutheran Church the home group called “The Young People’s Group” there were people who had come from all walks of life. The group meeting that I thought would have been rather small slowly became larger and larger over the course of the night. I was unaware that the AA meetings had been setup with a set of codes or rules for those who struggle every day to fight this addiction. They allowed people who were new or if it was their first meeting to introduce themselves and tell their story to the fight of addiction related to alcohol. I was really impressed with the fact that the AA groups have an awards system for reaching sobriety for a certain period of time whether it was 1 month or 15 years. After the awards were given out for those who had reached a certain amount of sobriety the chapter meeting moved on to the struggles that those people in attendance were having throughout the week or weeks. A gentlemen by the name of Dave opened up the meeting with a story of him in another AA meeting. He was very upset with the reaction of a man who had been driving home on the way from work. While this particular man was driving home he described the flashing of a draft beer sign. All the gentleman could think of was the fact that his lips have been not wetted from a drop of alcohol since the previous day and he was struggling with that. Dave insisted to tell us that this angered him because although he isn’t supposed to be worried with other people’s struggles; all he could come back to was how he wishes he was that guy driving by the beer sign. Dave wished at that very moment that he could drive past that sign and allow him self to decide to either go into the bar and drink or keep driving. All he could see however, when he passed the sign was it flashing in his mind over and over again. Dave described this story because that very same night he…
