On Sunday‚ March 6th‚ I went to an AA meeting in the Heights Vietnam Veterans Memorial Building between Manhattan and Summit Avenues in NJ‚ Jersey City.

There were about 50 people that showed up to the meeting‚ 35 of them were males and the other 15 were females. Most of them were either old or middle aged. The meeting consisted of a podium which had about five

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

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

Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting Reaction Paper I attended an A.A. meeting on April 5‚ 2010. Before the meeting I seemed very anxious.

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

Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. The meeting I attended was on a Sunday morning at 8am. A group of 11 gathered to share their experiences under the deadly addiction of alcoholism and it was an open lead meeting. It was a very interesting experience for me. I have never been to an AA meeting‚ so I really didn’t know what to expect. When I got there everyone was really friendly and I explained that I was a UNK student and I was just there to observe because I had to write a paper about AA. The first part of

2016 I attended an Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) meeting. In order to go about finding this meeting‚ I researched AA meetings in my location through the AA meeting website‚ AAVirginia.org. When using the internet resources they provided the name of the group that were meeting‚days available for meetings and the times‚ and the name of the location along with its address.

Soon enough the meaning of this location would be exposed. Thirty minutes before the meeting starts; a man in a leather jacket walks by me in a empty hall. The fellow asks If I came to join the AA meeting. He was chewing gum so furiously‚ it wasn’t clear at first why.
