Continued from last week
It is not a religious meeting:
Most members have a programme based on a belief in a Higher Power of their own understanding. There is no religious affiliation.
About those meetings:
Meetings are not what you expect, you won’t find a bunch of derelicts or religious fanatics. But you will find a bunch of friendly, sober people enjoying life. The meetings are short, usually an hour-and-a-half long.
Take a look at the meetings list:
There are open meetings which anyone can attend and closed meetings for alcoholics only or for people with a desire to stop drinking.
The AA preamble
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experiences strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop drinking.The primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.
Just for today
I need guidance, support, and a power beyond my own. I will go to a meeting, reach out to a new comer, call my sponsor, and pray to my higher power- I will do something that says, “I surrender.”
