One of the meetings that I used to go to was a double winner meeting and I loved it,but the difference was that since I was in LA,there were tons of meetings to choose from and it sounds like you might not have this choice.
The meeting that I went to was NOT in the al-anon directory because they are not sanctioned(or were'nt at the time),by al-anon...Al-anon meetings are meant to keep the focus on al-anon issues and no identification with other programs is supposed to happen during meetings.
I would have a word with the secretary about being stricter about reminding people of this rule if people identify with other programs(any ofther programs,not just AA),during their shares.
One of my sponsors is a double winner and he's one of the people that I respect more than anyone else,but he is very careful to only identify from the al-anon point of view when sharing in al-anon meetings,
Good luck,I hope it all works out for you,Vampy
