We have an offshoot of the Pacific Group in Upland and they still practice the dress code and cater to a better class of drunks!! Not my cup of tea, although my sponsor has been a member of the group as his home group for 25 years. We just agree that it works for him and I prefer my meetings. Once I was told that I "fit" into the upper crust alkies I remembered the Groucho Marx remark about not wanting to be a member of any group that would have ME as a member. (Paraphrased of course).
Thank goodness there are all sorts of meetings and groups for all sorts of drunks.
