Some meetings really do suck and have very little to do with AA. And some of those meetings feel great for the hour, but do nothing to help the newcomer recover.

I've been in meetings where there was so much love in the room you wanted to burst. They felt great. But, that's all they were. There was little someone could take home expect for a warm fuzzy feeling. Warm fuzzy feelings are not sufficient to recover from alcoholism.

I would encourage you to find a 'group', not a meeting, that is dedicated to the common solution in AA instead of just the common problem of alcoholism.
