They are always gonna be around...I mean, to be at a meeting or a member, all they have to do is have a desire to stop drinking right?
And yes, people are vulnerable when they get to AA.
It is my responsibility to get to know the newcomers and the members of my group, and also to protect my AA sisters (and brothers) - who to stay away from, who to be wary of, who can absolutley be trusted, those who I really don't know.
I have noticed over the years though that old habits break hard, and a lot of newcomer girls are automatically attracted to, or drawn to rather the bad boys, who probably aren't as concerned with the newcomer getting sober as others may be.
I have more than once, come across as a jealous fool telling someone "You know, it may be best to stay away from that guy, he may be detrimental to your sobriety" - I come across as trying to c-block the guy.
Now I just let God guide my actions and ask for help when I am confused- been around AA for more than 7 years - and just learned to do that in the last year or so...
