TU, that's something I'm curious about. After Trimpey sobered up in AA he founded RR in '86 and some time was thereafter involved in getting the members enough time sober to start the meetings...which he declared were worthless in '99.
During the time they were worthwhile, how many were there nationwide at their peak? Though I was sober a while then in a large city near Trimpey's ranch I heard nothing at all about RR or RR meetings among the sober crowd.
Your comments regarding their degeneration sounds like actual personal observation over time instead of going by rumors. Did you go to more than a few?
