Taz, I attend a closed BB meeting. It's my home group. Call us crazy, but 80 percent are alkies, 15 percent identify as alkie/addict, and we have one woman who is Alanon and identifies as "friend of Lois W". Since this meeting is recovery based, there is not a lot of "user-a-logs" anywhere..so it's a room full of folks trying to stay sober and clean.
I'd hold the group conscious and allow addicts in. What are you going to do? Tell em "oops, sorry, we can't help". That would bother me..
Karen
