I don't use AA in my recovery, however when I was new to getting sober I did go to a bunch of meetings.. a bunch, because like you, I had an experience in a meeting that really turned my stomach. So I tried another meeting, and another.. I found a few that were much more along the lines of what I felt to be helpful.. I didn't give up. After about a dozen or so meetings, I made a personal decision that AA was not going to be part of my recovery, but I will never regret going to those meetings, they were sure as hell a much better place for me to be for that one hour of my day than most other places I could have found myself that's for sure!!
