AA in July

[Solitaire]

I went to a meeting I seldom attend last night, as I had to take a newcomer.
Most nights there is only one meeting in my city....
I don't "like" this meeting because it "belongs" to a certain guy who will comment on everything (crosstalk) and I find him patronizing!
There were 3 newcomers at this tiny meeting!
Different strokes for different folks I guess..

What I try to say: don't judge an 80 year old fellowship on one meeting?!?

One day at a time, easy does it, trying to do the next right thing!

Certainly there are meetings I prefer over others. Ijf there's something going on, such as crosstalk, I'll attend the business meeting & bring it up wo//naming any names. The meeting will die if those types of things continue.

I have only 3 meetings in my small town which is a lot but there's one I don't attend because there are quite a few people that know each other and they intimidate and exclude. The other meetings are the same people every time and the same damn stories.

christy: That's too bad. As far as the same stories: That's why I like to go to step meetings, BB, or topic meetings. There's something other than hearing people's drunkalogs. As far as the exculsionary nature of that one meeting: That's too bad, but I've seen it & experienced it. I try very hard to introduce myself to newcomers. I know how I felt in the beginning./

AA in July

Our weekend groups are experiencing a lot of drama. People mad at others. People gossiping about others. I know it will pass eventually. What do I expect from a bunch of alcoholics? We're not the healthiest people in the world.
