I've done the same; I am blessed right now with having a lot of choices while I am in the states (when I go back to my island home, there is pretty much only ONE group option -- I hope I like it). I was very fortunate that my first week of meetings were all "good" -- then there were a few that didn't do it for me. I thought maybe it was just me, that the novelty of AA had worn off -- and then I went to a couple more that I thought were great.

I enjoy going to meetings where there are a lot of people "just like me", and I also enjoy going to meetings with people who have very different backgrounds from mine -- because we still have a ton in common, and the message they share comes in a different wrapping from mine, so I often see it in a different way. I like having a lot of variety, at least for now.
