Walking into your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting will be one of the most difficult things you will do on your road to recovery and there is no way you can be prepared for your first experience as everyones feelings are different. 
 
Without a doubt when you walk into your first AA meeting you can expect to feel humbled by the stories from other survivors of alcoholism. You will find people from all walks of life in these meetings and each and every one of them has gone what you have gone through when attempting to conquer this disease and find a place where they can be happy without relying on the bottle. 
 
It doesn't matter which group an average person joins when it comes to feeling accepted and part of a group of people, but after a couple of weeks a real boding takes place as confidence rises and you can clearly see that you are spending your time wisely with the exact people that will listen to you all day long if necessary.
 
There are Alcoholics Anonymous meetings worldwide and the success of the organization comes from knowing how to help anyone regardless of where they are coming from since the treatment is the same irregardless. 
 
Doctors may recommend more exercise or even a pharmaceutical product to help you deal with alcoholism on your own, but that is just so difficult and my suggestion is that if an alcoholic has actually made a decision to stop, then don't mess up first time round as it would be even more complicated if attempted again at a later date.
 
I have just heard on the news that 40,000 people die every year in the UK, due to alcohol related diseases. That really does show how difficult it is for us to face an addiction even though we know that it is life threatening. Help is available for anybody that wants to stop drinking alcohol and going to an AA meeting is as good as it gets, as it tackles every social problem that alcohol can lead to. The unity between alcoholics is truly admirable and helps to really transforms an alcoholics personality, to a point that people won't recognize them as being the same person.
 
If you know somebody that needs help, please make sure they do get the support and help they need to successfully stop drinking alcohol and prevent them from just becoming another dreadful alcohol related statistic.
