For my Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting assignment I attended an AA meeting held at Annunciation RC Church in Paramus. I was a bit nervous before coming in to the meeting. I had my own personal feelings towards alcoholics for some time. I had a few relatives that dealt with alcohol with some of their lives. Like most families from my background‚ talking about alcoholism just never happened. It was something that was kept secret and never discussed. My religion tells us that drinking any kind of

Alcoholics Anonymous is an international mutual aid fellowship founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith in Akron‚ Ohio. AA states that its “primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety”. The only membership requirement is to stop drinking and to carry its message to the alcoholic who suffers. There were 20 people excluding myself and two others

have always had this inaccurate perception that the only people who attended AA meetings are misguided individuals who have some how lost their way due to alcoholism. Within the first 10 minutes of my arrival I was honestly embarrassed to have ever felt this way. Every single individual in the room gathered together with the common focus of getting their life back in order. Given the upmost respect to the members of the AA meeting I attended‚ they all have something I have yet to find‚ the courage

This person read the “AA Preamble” which explained what AA is and what is their purpose. According to the preamble‚ the only requirement for membership to AA is to stop drinking.

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. 2. I attend the meeting with my boyfriend because I did not want to go alone. My only concern was how people were going to be there‚ and I excepted to hear some bizarre stories of peoples past. 3. The meeting was held in a conference like setting at a round table

Reaction Paper SAB 110-02 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.

The AA meeting that I attended was at midnight in Bay City‚ at the Log Cabin. When I first walked in I was very startled. There were three women and seven men. I was quite overwhelmed and a tad bit scared to be in that sort of predicament. I know going at midnight was probably not the best idea‚ but it was the only meeting that fit into my schedule. Everyone was very nice to me when I walked in and informed me on how the meeting was held and what went on. At the start of the meeting some book

Just like the AA meeting‚ I felt very uncomfortable with attending an Al-Anon meeting. I have been fortunate enough where no one close to me has ever been addicted to alcohol. I wasn’t sure how well I would be able to relate to the members of this meeting. I was very nervous walking in the meeting and I felt out of place. One thing that brought me relief was the smiling faces and happy conversation I encountered as I entered the room. These people looked like they were trying to make the best out
