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

Nonverbal communication is very important when running a meeting. First and foremost‚ it assists in giving the speaker credibility (Thrill & Bovee‚ 2007). If a speaker is looking at the ground‚ slouching‚ and wringing their hands‚ they don’t appear confident.

Before I went to the meeting‚ I was expecting the meeting to be like seen on TV. Looking something around the lines of a middle school auditorium with chairs all facing the stage and someone gets up there and talks.

I took these quotes from each section because I gain a new perspective about why these meetings are important. Words like “controlled” “powerless” and unmanageable explains the struggle of an addict. I cannot imagine living a life in which I feel powerless‚ and controlled to the point where I am not able to manage it. Meetings like NA or AA brings awareness to those that does not understand addiction and what it means to be an addict. It is very easy to say “why can’t get just stop?”. If they could
