Reflection On Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting

Bill Wilson was a New York stockbroker while Dr. Bob Smith was a physician (Wiechelt, 2015, p.1011).

This Deaf event was very different form every other deaf event that I’ve went to in the past. Let me start of by saying it was a far drive, I drove 28 miles to a place I have never been to, but it was worth the drive. This event was expensive but the reason I chose to go to this event was because it was the only one that fit in with my weekly schedule. As got to the event I was a bit late and everyone had taken their seats and there were no more seats left. But this very nice lady came to my rescue and found me a seat.

As part of my learning, I decided to develop a community profile to gather information that would help me better understand the needs of the community, and the services available to it. This was a valuable piece of work, which allowed me to build a comprehensive picture of a community I knew very little about. Regular review of this profile would also be a good way of highlighting changes in the population over time, which may impact on service need. Visits to other agencies included Sligo FRC, the C.R.I.B Youth Project and Health Café, and Foroige National Youth Development Organisation, Carrick on Shannon. I met with a range of public health nurses, project co-ordinators, and youth and community support workers.

The meeting that I attended this week was Narcotics Anonymous (NA). NA is a fellowship that includes men and women who struggle with addiction. The members of the group are supporters or recovering addicts, and the purpose is to maintain complete abstinence (Narcotics Anonymous, 2017). Prior to attending the group, I was not informed about the group and was uncertain of what to be expected. Unfortunately, the night that I attended was not a traditional session, as they were celebrating the milestones of a few members.
