Alcoholics anonymous meetings are simple affairs which involves starting with a short prayer followed by a period of meditation or silence. This could be followed by a reading from the alcoholics anonymous book. Thereafter new members and visitors are welcomed and sobriety anniversaries commemorated. Next a speaker will give a talk on his experiences in dealing with alcoholism or there may be a discussion on how to deal with alcoholism related problems. Every person who desires to speak is required to begin by saying, "My name is... and I am an alcoholic/friend/visitor". The meetings come to a conclusion with a prayer. Post the meetings members tend to bond and hang out together.AA Meeting Near Me
