AA Meetings - What to Expect
Going to an AA meeting is simple. Just show up.
That’s it. There’s no signing in, no money to pay (usually a basket is passed but there is no obligation to contribute),
no appointment to make. There are no intrusive questions, no obligations.
Your privacy and anonymity will be respected. You’ll never be met with a demand to come back to any meeting or to AA.
You can go to different meetings as often as you wish.
Many of us had no idea what to expect of our first meeting. For some of us the idea was quite scary,
so we were relieved to find that AA meetings are relaxed, friendly and open.
Many of us felt that we had plenty of character. There was a tremendous urge to cease forever. Yet we found it impossible. This is the baffling feature of alcoholism as we know it--this utter inability to leave it alone, no matter how great the necessity or the wish.
