What Are AA Meetings All About?

Still in print today, a book called Alcoholics Anonymous was published in 1939. It was written by Bill Wilson, a co-founder of AA — and is oftentimes called The Big Book. It contains the central tenets that led to the formation of the famous 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous

The worldwide fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous has one central purpose: to help alcoholics live a life of sobriety. All AA meetings in Maine have that purpose, but their meeting formats vary. Some meetings are led by a main speaker or two while others make use of group discussions or book studies. No one in AA is required to talk or reveal any personally identifiable information.

Thanks to the AA groups and AA meetings in Maine, alcoholics can learn to live without alcohol. A key feature of AA is its community, which is made up of people recovering from alcoholism. It provides those who are struggling with alcohol an environment in which they can address their addiction. They can take advantage of all that Alcoholics Anonymous has to offer free of charge; membership does not involve signup or membership fees.

Which AA Meeting Is Right for You?

AA groups worldwide have one purpose: to help alcoholics live a sober life. However, one AA meeting in Maine is not going to be exactly the same as another. AA meetings in Maine vary in terms of their format and feel. With all of us having our own needs and personalities, one AA group or AA meeting will not work for everyone. If a specific AA meeting in Maine does not suit you well, you have other options.

Before you go to an AA meeting in Maine, an important thing to know is that it is going to be either “open” or “closed.” An “open” AA meeting is one that is open to non-alcoholics and a “closed” meeting is exclusively for alcoholics.

If you are new to Alcoholics Anonymous, you might want to look for an AA meeting in Maine that focuses on the 12 traditions of AA and the 12 steps of AA. Any AA meeting in Maine will talk about them, but you need to develop a solid understanding of them. Some AA meetings will focus on them more than others. Do not let that hold you back from getting started, however; you should simply attend an AA meeting — any AA meeting in Maine. Afterward, you can decide whether you want to return or try another group instead.

It might take a while before you find a Maine AA group that suits your needs and personality. When you find one, you can consider it your home group. After some time, you can check your progress with a sobriety calculator.

Benefitting from AA Meetings

In order to successfully combat your addiction to alcohol, you should have a positive attitude and be receptive to all that AA has to offer. No one can be positive 24/7, but the right mindset will help you make the most of your time in AA. Alcoholics worldwide have achieved long-term sobriety with Alcoholics Anonymous. So can you.

Of course, you might relapse if you fail to attend meetings regularly. If you are part of an AA group in Maine that you feel “at home” in, please talk to someone within the group who has been sober for a few years. They can keep you accountable and be there when you need to talk to them.
