Meetings are like a box of chocolates....

I've encountered all types of scenarios in meetings, both good and bad. I do know that the worst meeting i've ever been to was still a lot safer and healthier than the places i frequented in active addiction.

I don't know about your area, but for me there are multiple options to attend during the day and at night. It took me a bit to find the ones i like, and even those can get sideways sometimes.

I take the good with the bad, and the good has far outweighed the bad where i live. Whatever the case, i'm not going to let anyone or anything run me out of my chair in the rooms. I've found that i often learn great lessons in what not to do, both in life and in meetings, when i encounter 'bad' meetings.

Something else i've heard folks share is that if you don't like a particular meeting you could make it your homegroup and help to improve it!

Good luck finding what works for you.
