Paulos,
I've been to your meetings, and they've been very well run.
I'm sorry I wasn't there last night, but, I can tell you this.
Some people believe that all of the meetings are 12 step meetings.
Yours are not, and you've made that clear.
But, that *may* bother some of the members or some may still be unaware.
That is *not* your fault at all.
Sometimes, too,
Especially in early recovery,
People are angry or irritable.
Again, it has nothing to do with you.
It's on them
And it's a sign of their lack of serenity
And their lack of recovery.
Also,
some people are just plain ole mean.
Or control freaks who want things their own way.
Or they may just be jerks, whether they are drunk or sober.
Please do not take the burden of another's bad behavior onto yourself, Paul.
Continue to do the great service work you do for us, here at SR.
We appreciate it.
And, if some people do not like your meetings,
They do not have to go to them.
We've had LOTS of feedback from the membership
Talking about how much they enjoy and appreciate your meetings.
So, keep up the great work, Paul!
And THANK YOU for your service to the members of SR!
Shalom!
