Wow, G. I have seen folks with considerable clean time coming to meetings and still acting like they're living in the streets or in the bars. One doesn't have to work too hard to "take another's inventory" when there's violence and aggressiveness involved. I really don't get why they keep coming back. Is it that meetings are the one place they think they can't be kicked out or shunned?

If the object of her violence is someone I was sponsoring, I'd be urging the same thing I'd do for myself and you indicated you'd do -- involve the police, press charges, and get a restraining order. And if you refuse her entry to a group or groups, who enforces the ban and how is it enforced? Sounds like she doesn't respond well to perceived rejection.

I'm really sorry to hear that this has happened. There's something to be said for the old-old days when someone was sponsored through the first three steps before entering a meeting.

Peace & Love,
Sugah
