AA for Beginners! What to Expect During An Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting?

This video should give you a brief outline of what you can expect when you attend your first AA meeting. When attending your first Alcoholics Anonymous make sure to keep an open mind and give it some time to sink in. I know for myself I felt very uncomfortable at my first AA meeting but everyone was very welcoming . Check out a meeting and know you love it !!

Thank you. About to head to my first meeting tonight. I'm not nervous at all. It's just time to take care of this issue. Be honest about it, and move on to a better life.

Went to my first meeting ever today. Cried but left the happiest I've ever been. I even talked. I'm proud of myself.

I remember my first aa meeting on December, 12, 1993. It was scary. Since my journey of being alcohol free, I have learned a lot and still learning. On December 12, 2023, I will be alcohol free 30 years. It works if you work it.

I'm not an alcoholic I just love inspiring stories of people bettering their life. Go get 'em!!! 😊

I attended my first AA Meeting May 29, 2021. It was the 12 Steps & 12 Traditions meeting of AA. May 31, 2021 was my 2nd time at AA and we read the Living Sober book. I haven't shared my story yet as still shy to everyone at the meeting and I loved it. Going again this Saturday June 5 2021. I been reading the Daily Reflections daily and the AA itself is keeping me away from alcohol, with God's help as well. May 23 was the last day I drank and was sober by 12pm May 23.

Don’t let people cross talk. Members are not therapists even tho many think they are. No member has a legal right to keep your confidentiality be careful what you share at meetings. Stay sober today. One day at a time

Welcome to anyone new or anyone who's considering going to AA. I will have 14yrs of sobriety in 30 days. I love AA. You guys don't have anything to worry about. Go to a speakers mtg but go w/a friend, DON'T sit in the back, don't leave b4 the mtg ends, FORCE yourself to walk around and meet people, ask questions (trust me- we can spot a newcomer a mile away!! 😅) and we want to talk to you but JUST TO SAY HI, yep!! That's it!! Just hi! So go, give it a chance.

For new comers. I will say this..... Don't be nervous. Most of us have been judged so much that we don't have it in us to judge anyone else. So if it's your first time. Or if your problem is out of control. We won't judge you. And most of all. Everyone is there to help

Spotted a notice on a table in a KZbin video about AA. 'Who you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here.'

[@mountiescorner]

My first one is tomorrow, thanks for this video. My friend who’s been sober for 8 years is introducing me and going with me. How long have you been sober for? Congrats

[@indieluvbug1]

I’m going to attend my 1st meeting the next hour, I’ve been researching and this video is the best intro to the meetings!!! Thank you and congrats on your sobriety blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Aquaman-uc1ze]

I just started going to AA one of the best decisions I ever made almost 2 months sober now

[@coffinsmokej7408]

Hey thanks I was on the fence about going to AA tonight and uh this actually helped so keep it up.

[@JaeDott96]

Tonight will be my first meeting I’ve ever attended . I am currently 5 days sober . It’s up from here .

[@Albert-the-Astro]

Thank you for this vid. It's helping more people than you know.

[@iamwabisabi3711]

Just got home from my first meeting. Was eye opening. An overall great experience. Felt very welcome 😊

[@destiniandhaley]

Great video! I always enjoy listening to you speak!

[@carlrichie2012]

I really need this, I'm such a mess right now. Whiskey is my downfall, I know it's bad, everytime I drink I feel sad but when I don't I feel worse, I wish I could break free 😢

[@jeremyhayes5124]
