I go to a clubhouse mostly for AA meetings out of necessity; it seems that over time, more and more people are sharing "at" other people during the meeting, or giving opinions on how to run your recovery based on rehab principles or public opinion, rather than Big Book. I thought you were supposed to be able to come in and share an honest though without being openly criticized during the meeting. Heaven help you if you bring up the topic for the day, because than every share will be directed at you and your 2 minutes of personal info you gave them. I always try not to give advice rather than just share what has happened to me. But i feel like it is getting harder and harder to open up to anyone in fear of being attacked. So I mostly shut up during meetings and just talk to my sponsor; but I fell like it is a shame.
