Maybe I needed to see this.

Every time I see someone go out I consider it a reminder of how cunning, baffling, and powerful alcohol is. It helps me to mind my own program a little closer.
According to the 3rd Tradition anyone is welcome at an AA meeting who has a desire to stop drinking. If someone is disruptive to the meeting itself they should probably be asked to leave. Though, we must be careful as to how we define "disruptive." There are TONS of annoying and mildly disruptive people at AA meetings. My HP sends them to meetings so that I might have an opportunity to practice patience and tolerance. For this I am very grateful.
