AA meeting tomorrow night

Tomorrow night I'm going to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in my town. I had a hard time finding a listing for one that was open to non-addicts. I expect it to be a bit different from the NA meeting I went to last week. From talking to my classmates, I know that it is more of a religion based program. NA was very adamant that they were a spiritual, not religious, group. I think will be similar in that people will talk about fighting the urge to drink. How everyday hardships can make it hard to lose their focus on sobriety.

I'm looking forward to going to the meeting because alcoholism runs in my family. I think I can learn from their discussion, maybe gain some insight into my family member's thought process. The listing said there will be a speaker. I imagine that would change the format of the meeting somewhat. I'm just looking forward to having a new experience to learn from.

On a side note, I tried looking into a gamblers anonymous meeting. The majority are down by Atlantic City, which surprised me. I wondered how someone who has a gambling issue up here would be able to get the help and support they need. After all, there are casinos in Pennsylvania that aren't as far a drive as AC.
