I have an ex I had not seen for 14 months who suddenly showed up and proceeded to

talk about me in meetings (badly)..sharing "my story"..even to the point of using my name.

I had to stop going for my sanity's sake with the exception for one Women's meeting.

He goes to all mixed meetings in town doing this.

I know this is an extreme case...

But I recall a husband and wife situation once...long term sobriety both of them.

She mentioned a little story about him and then said.."Oh! I am so sorry..that is

you story." He said "Thank you." I think it is all about focusing our recovery

on ourselves.."We tell our story in a general way"..not someone else's....

And it's about respect.
