It might be the only way it works, but it isn't usually the way that it starts, unfortunately. I do hope that I never get self-righteous in my recovery and forget where I started (no danger yet, I'm only 33 days in). Although high people shouldn't be allowed to ramble on incoherently and damage the message, IMO they should be made to feel welcomed to sit and listen and enjoy fellowship. I never want to feel locked out if, God help me, I relapse and need to come back impaired. So much suffering out there.
