You know for my whole first year I was so busy trying to stay sober, working, my
steps with my sponsor ie. that I didn't even know what Hugh (my sponsor's hubby)
did and I interacted with him almost as much as Bev. He had a Phd in Theology. he
had a Phd in engineering (not sure which) and he was currently an electrical con-
tractor with his company and employees doing a government job on a plant in
Palmdale. There were doctors, lawyers, mechanics, secretaries, homeless, etc
It took me years to see all the different professions. I do understand what you
are saying. In L.A. it was go to meetings in Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and Malibu.
Where I live now, it is go to meetings at Sanoma Ranch and White Sands Misslle
Range.
I believe as you 'branch' out and start attending meetings in more 'upper crust
areas you may find what you are looking after being a 'regular' for a while.
Standing up in a meeting and sharing that you are looking for other "nurses,
doctors, paramedics, teachers, etc" to go to coffee with after the meeting
might or might not bring results. You won't know until you try.
