I hope you like your AA meetings. I have a few suggestions. First and foremost, do your best to keep an open mind about everything you see and hear. The less judgmental you are in the beginning the faster you can begin to truly understand things. It takes a while to get oriented. The second thing I would suggest is to let people know that you have over a year of sobriety and that you are new to meetings. Most new people are assumed to have a very short period of sobriety when they begin to attend. Finally, listen for how you are similar to the people you hear speak. It will be quite easy to spot how you are different from others. The diversity in meetings is enormous. What you will benifit from is to make note of the similarities.
