Restorative, as you are newcomer, it's more important that we make you feel comfortable. All newcomers come first. And i came first when i was a newcomer.
But if you don't need Gunther on a given evening then i'm going to bring him with myself for "protection."
All in good fun. I found some meetings to be wonderful with wonderfully supportive people. And i found others that were less so.
