Hey Katie! I am surprised to hear how different meetings were back in the 70's. It seems to me from your observation they were much more liberal.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results...aa is not excluded from this. 32 years in and out of the program would lead me to believe that it is not a viable solution for you. I think going to a smart meeting is a great idea. Let us know how it works out!
