Observation On Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting

It is mankind’s quest to overcome them. The virtuous life is a really complicated one. The person should follow the code of a good person, which is do not harm anyone and make happy everyone.

In the essay the author is honest about peoples behaviors in life and how they idolize the lifestyle displayed on television than their own. For example, in paragraph 10 Rita Dove states, “Who isn’t tempted to ignore the inexorable fact of our insignificance on a dying planet? We all yearn for our private patch of blue.” In this quote, Rita illustrates that people are very ignorant about life and its negative significances. Rita is very straightforward and honest about such situation.

Peer pressure can make you do bad things that can have terrible effects on your future and you will not be the same person you once were. Being yourself is an amazing accomplishment, many people fail to stay the same and become drug addicts or possibly suicidal and that is why peer pressure is so dangerous. If you change as a person it will not end well and your future could be ruined.

In Alcoholics Anonymous they have a saying “suit up and show up” that concisely sums ups the meaning of behavioral activation (BA). It is only by showing up, hopefully sober, and beginning to make small positive baby steps that the client can start to obtain positive life experiences, while also facing their fears of embarrassment, panic, or losing control. By purposefully scheduling positive activities the client suffering from depression, anxiety and avoidance behaviors can begin to expose themselves to positive life experiences that can change their whole outlook on life in a positive direction. The client can then begin to use these positive experiences to build a whole new healthy personal and world view that may alter their avoidance

AA meetings is beneficial to the addicts community in a many ways; For instance, when people talk about what is going on in their life it allows them to release some of their pent up stress and tension; It is not always possible or desirable to talk to friends and family about worries and concerns; It is an ideal venue for people to unburden themselves; Other members can offer a different perspective on problems; Meeting may suggest something that the individual might have never considered on their own; When people share they feel more a part of the meeting because they are contributing something. The program needs minor adjustment to better the community, such as eliminating spiritual values because not everyone has the same spiritual values or beliefs, which can prevent progression of recovery; and eliminating the admitting process like “Hi, I’m Joe. I am an alcoholic” because some individual that attend the AA meeting is required by state law for driving under the influence and does not indicate that the person is an alcoholic. Other than eliminating these steps, AA meetings have seen to be very beneficial for the addict’s community providing treatments, supports, and

overpower human behaviors which could lead to incidents against morals. This act was meant to help people keep good morals in check and live healthier, happier lives. Drinking actually became fashionable and exciting, which contrasts the entire notion of living a healthy life without alcohol as a temporary source of happiness. Many Americans drank heavily during this time and wished for the prohibition idea to end. A poem titled “The Alcohol Blues” exemplifies the outstanding desire for alcohol stating, “I’ve got the blues, I’ve got the blues I’ve got the alcoholic blues.

Characterization in Fahrenheit 451 Being human or normal should not be weird or unacceptable. In Bradbury’s dystopian novel, everyone is supposed to be the same because they think that will make everyone happy. Of course, you will have your rule breakers that are not like everyone else or the one that wishes they could be that person. In the sci-fi novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, he uses imagery to show characterization of each of the characters.

Attending each 12-step meeting was interesting, yet frightening too. Surprised at how different the population was among each meeting. In the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings there were more of an older generation, where in the Narcotics Anonymous there were more of a younger generations. I noticed in the Narcotics Anonymous meeting there were a lot of people who were wearing ankle monitors from the justice center, but out of the three Alcoholics Anonymous (I know we only had to attend two AA meetings-long story on how/why I ended up attending three) meetings I attended there were only two people I recall seeing with ankle monitors compared to four or five to the one Narcotics Anonymous meeting.

My experiences in English three so far have been very satisfying. I learned many things that I wouldn’t have if I had taken a different class or had another teacher. I learned a lot of morals from stories or movies watched like “Goodnight and Good Luck.” I learned from “The Crucible” that doing the right thing doesn’t always involve being truthful in certain circumstances if you care about someone and want to keep them safe. For example, when Elizabeth had to choose between telling the judge that her husband was unfaithful to her by having an affair with Abigail Williams, or lying to save him from judgment by the town and everyone in the courtroom.

He spoke probably close to fifteen minutes. The remainder of the meeting involved the other thirty people in attendance volunteering to share their thoughts with everyone else. No one

If you are currently suffering from an addiction to opiates, you understand the pain and emotional difficulties associated with withdrawal. For many people, the first few hours are too painful to handle, which forces them back into relapse. However, it is important to understand that opiate withdrawal is not an infinite problem. There is a timeline of opiate withdrawal and an end point. Although it may be difficult, reaching the finish line can help you live a life free of opiate addiction.

An AA meeting may take one of several forms, typically at any meeting you will find alcoholics talking about what drinking did to their lives and personalities. Individuals might also divulge what actions they took to help themselves, and how they are living their lives today. A.A. groups have both open and closed meetings. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and desire to stop drinking. Open meetings are available to anyone interested in the Alcoholics Anonymous program.

The Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting at the Book Study Unity Club gave off a welcoming atmosphere. The environment was very family oriented and seemed to be a place of acceptance and redemption. Overall, the group process was extremely functional. There were a two leaders, one was the leader for the particular chapter the other was the leader of the particular meeting. In the beginning, the leaders both gave their background histories on how they were brought to AA.
