It really saddens me when i come across posts like this.
Please dont let this be a lasting impression of AA....
You are a newcomer....you are one of the most important reason of why i still attend some meeting.
Im glad you found the courage to go..........at least you found a greeter if nothing else.
Please attend another venue.........this.. in my experience is not typical AA.
although i live in the uk....please feel free to pm me if i can be of any help.
