When I go to an AA meeting, I don't go expecting to 'get' as much as to 'give.' I'm not so important that people should feel obligated to jump up and run over to introduce themselves to me. That's my job, and that's what I give. I look around to see if I can see someone who looks like he needs someone to say "hi, glad to see you." When I go with this attitude, I never leave wanting, or thinking I didn't get anything from the meeting. Sometimes others need to see the example of what sobriety can accomplish, as well as hear ES&H. Try it.
