In NA we don't use the term slip.
It has been used alot in my fellowship lately. And as the topic states....that 'relapse is a part of recovery'.

And I think what happens, at least in my area, is a couple new people come in and they start saying it at meetings, and then other new people come in and pretty soon I am hearing something on that subject at every meeting I am going to....which is what happened in the past few weeks.

A slip, in my opinion happens on the ice, snow or a wet surface when things are going along just fine and suddenly, wham!
Exactly.

And one more thing....cross talk, wtf is up with that? It is at every meeting I went to in the past few weeks, I mean disruptive crosstalk. If a woman I sponsor does it I will explain to her in private why we dont do that.
I got together with a woman yesterday who is part of my homegroup. We re-wrote the 'introduction' for lack of a better word (the stuff read at the meeting by the secretary). We included a sentence about refraining from crosstalk. I will take this to the business meeting on Tuesday and present it to the group for a vote......

Am I just becoming an "NA stick in the mud" or does this stuff bother other people too?
