I learned many things by attending the WSPS meeting on April 6th. I learned that these meetings are much more structured than some of the other clubs and events that I attend. For example‚ there was budgeted time for announcements‚ a guest speaker‚ and final remarks. In many of my undergraduate clubs‚ meetings are less structured.

Addiction and Obsession Soc. 301 6/10/13 Upon entering the NA meeting I had mixed feelings. I didn’t know how to come to the meeting knowing my intentions were neither to give nor receive help. I felt like I was an intruder. I didn’t understand why I should betray others or act as if I was an addict who chose not to interact in the healing and recovering process. All of those things pushed me into the door of a meeting and open my mind to the hurt behind the physical appearance of these people

Walking into the AA meeting made me feel very awkward and out of place‚ but as the meeting began and everyone started sharing their stories I began to feel comfortable about being there. When I first went in the room the chairs were set up in a circle with some on the outside of it. I decided to take a seat on the outside so I wouldn’t be of focus during the meeting. They started the meeting off with reading some inspirational words and then reading the 12 steps. Their focus tonight was on a higher
