It is important that you have an understanding of what AA means to you, and that you share that understanding honestly with fellow alcoholics. If you simply dont do the AA 12 steps, then there is not much sense in going to the meetings, imo, because of course you will be encouraged to work the program, and you will of course not do so, so what would be the point?
If it is simply fellowship and talking with sober alcoholics, then I would say so to the chairperson, and perhaps some members may wish to socializ
e with you after meetings or whenever. AA meetings themselves are not setup to be only social events -- meetings are a normal way for members to meet other members and share their experiences with working the program.
There is a difference between a member struggling to understand the AA program, and a member refusing, for whatever reason, to do and follow the AA program...
I'm sure, if you are comfortable with your sobriety, you can find AA members who you can befriend, and from there enjoy a social experience outside of going to the meetings.
