Im going to visit new meetings with new people before I give up on AA it has helped far too many people and given way too many miracles so there must be something to it right?
Whenever I go to a new town, I look for literature based meetings or step based meetings. That helps to keep the meeting on track and you should here more solution based information and fewer war stories.
