I have been considering this for some time.

AA here abouts is much as you describe...i choose not to attend some.

i get bored with the bs....t party.....no solution only problems meetings.

BUT.....what of the newcomer........do we leave them to suck up this nonsense?....dont i have a responsibility to share a message of hope.

Dont i have a responsibility to introduce newcomers to the program of recovery.....am i going to stop going because it bores me.

lately Ive been walking into some of those meetings........sharing a message of hope and talking of a program of recovery.

Maybe....hopefully one of those 90 in 90 newcomers will listen and realize
that there is vastly more than fellowship available.

sadly lots go back out here........surprised that meetings ain't keeping them sober.

no one took the time to........deliver a message of recovery... rather a message of therapy.

keep sharing that there is a solution......and ignore the frowns.
