In my home group, there are a few oldtimes with a LOT of recovery and also a lot of good solid program in them. When someone starts to go on and on about their A, that person gets interrupted after about 90 seconds -2 minutes. One of the old timers will say, "We are glad you're here. If you stick around after the meeting, someone will be available for you to talk about this further. Right now we have others who are waiting for their turn to share about tonight's topic which is 'xxxx'.

Next?"

The person in pain has a few people waiting to speak with him after the meeting and the meeting itself gets back on track. It's all done with love and seems to be very effective.

good luck
