Another screwy AA thing -- not checking on the "sponsee". I lost a brother over the summer and nobody from the non-drug-court AA group even gave me a phone call.

Selfish program I guess.
You could always pay him a visit.

I can handle AA/NA in small doses. Anymore than that, and it starts to become a double edge sword.
