Talk about a stupid way to spend 45 minutes - wondering if I had to use their label or be true to me. I am not going back.
Just my opinion -- Always be true to you. My therapist is always telling me I need to learn to be genuine. It's not always easy for me being a good little codie.
May be check out another meeting? It took me like, 10 year, to find a meeting that I loved. It's diverse and very few of them are "my way or the highway" sort of people. I tend to tune those people out any way.
