Those folks will suck the life right out of you,at least that is my experience.You did the best thing,I think.Turn away from them and find someone who does want to recover.I do not fire sponsee`s,I just back off and let them do their thing,or suggest I `ll help them find another sponsor because we can`t seem to go any further.

As far as someone being booted from AA,no,I do not think we can do that,but any AA group can tell anyone not to come back to their group until they are ready to quit for good and seek help.Around here,most of us say,if you drink,you have removed yourself from AA and are no longer a member,especially our home group.
