| Every group is autonomous. Means they vote on how they want it to flow.
Some allow cross talk, most dont. I avoid those that do. Cross talk is NOT mentioning what another shared, its criticizing, talking over and condeming what another shared. If I identify with one's sharing, I can say so, or thank them for it, and add to it. Anyone can facilitate a meeting. We dont judge someone by there attendance record. Speak, dont speak, your choice. Whiners? I know plenty, ACOA's, double winners, reg. al-anons..we are all hurt humans. No labels, for me. Voices? Get a sponsor, do service, help others. Clears them up right away!
No rules in al-anon...take what you liked, what you need and leave the rest.
