Discuss what your preconceived notions were before you attended the meeting. What did you expect, what were your feelings and concerns, what were your beliefs about meetings.

Please google for a list of NA, AA, or Alanon meetings for either in-person in your local area or offered online. If you are in recovery, please try a meeting you are not familiar with for a different meeting.
.You will complete a 4-6 page paper discussing your experiences of attending an open support group meeting of your choice. This can be an AA, NA, GA, or an ala-non meeting. Unless you are a recovering individual, attend an open meeting.
You will discuss:
1. Write a thesis statement that is either “I would/would not support” integrating 12 step meetings into clinical AODA work because after attending a meeting I feel/think/believe….etc.”
2. Review the strengths and the weakness (pick a minimum of 2-3 strong details to support your thesis) in defending this opinion. To defend an opinion means that you need to use 2 outside resources (one can be your textbook) to really support your opinion. (Who else thinks what you think?)
3. Discuss what your preconceived notions were before you attended the meeting. What did you expect, what were your feelings and concerns, what were your beliefs about meetings.
4. You will discuss your experience of attending the meeting.
5. You will discuss your thoughts and feelings of why/how you would incorporate or not incorporate support groups meetings in counseling after your experiences.
6. You will need to follow APA format. Please integrate your sources with a peer reviewed journal.
