During the meeting I noticed numerous of therapeutic factors that were taking place. The first factor I noticed in the meeting was universality. The members in the meeting came from different walks of life‚ socio-economic statuses‚ and cultures but they all shared a common problem or situation. They were all there because they have an addiction or they had an addiction in the past. Altruism was also another factor that was applied within the group. While reading the text some of the members had a

This was not my first meeting I have been to meetings before but they all seem to make me nervous. When I arrived the nervousness had eased off because everyone had made me feel welcomed. I was made to feel like a part of their family from the beginning to the end of the meeting. I seemed to have realized I missed going to these meetings and I miss the fellowship

Attending the narcotics anonymous meeting was definitely an experience I will never forget. When my mom and I first pulled up I couldn’t have been more nervous‚ all the people smoking outside‚ but as I made my way in I began to feel a bit more comfortable. I did see Ani‚ the girl who spoke to our class. I overheard others talking about Bo who showed up later on in the night. As I went inside the church‚ the basement had been arranged with a circle of chairs‚ with children tables on the side. As members

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

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.

However‚ upon arrival to the PPT meeting‚ the special education director‚ Mrs. Plack was late due to grabbing the wrong folder. In addition to being late and unprepared‚ this meeting became extremely uncomfortable for me after Mrs. Plack asked several inappropriate questions such as is Matthew on medication

I chose to visit my own district‚ and the districts located north and south of me. Lacey Township is a
