| Sharing at meetings
I've heard the most unrelated or irrelevant crap in meetings and I just wanted to get other's takes on their approach to sharing at meetings.
[I should qualify the above by saying a great deal of said crap came from my own mouth.]
Now, I try to focus on a newcomer in the meeting and tell that person:" This is how I was and this is how I used the program of of AA as outlined in the BB to make that situation better.
The reason I use that approach is that from my experience, newcomers get the impression that AA is a group therapy session where you unload your problems before the group. The reason they get this impression is because that is what they hear in meetings. Many times with the "closer" ....and that's why I come to meetings".
( Message to newcomer-the way you treat alcoholism is to attend meetings).
comments?
