This is the way AA is suppose to be. Unfortunately, not all AA groups are created equal. I have been chased down in the supermarket more than once by some of our local fundamentalist AA members who think nothing of confronting me in public to tell me that I am destined to fail because I no longer keep in touch with them or attend their meetings. Thank God they are not all like that.
