Well thank you Jim. That's a useful, honest answer. Not a smarmy judgemental one.
The meeting went well btw. We had 10 people and that's a lot for our Monday meeting. We used a timer the whole way and managed to fit in
about 20 minutes of crossfire. We had two people who had been literally kicked out of their homegroup. There is actually a restraining order for them to not be at this club/meeting place they used to attend. The guy is a War Vet and Manic Depressive. But he's been sober 38 years. You can see the anger in his face. When we went around the room to introduce ourselves as alcoholic only, he said, "What? No andas? Beautiful." They loved our meeting and found it refreshing to be able to discuss steps 10 and 11.
The way I lead the meeting, I kind of blended the use of 10 and 11 together.
We had two guys from out of town; one from Denver and one from Albuquerque.
If anyone is wondering about my comments on the front, feel free to PM me and I'll gladly discuss them with anybody.
