Mrs Hammer....that was cute
I recall the days I was hitting some AA meetings to better "Understand" the addict and I went to a few really good meetings, but in others, I was hit on, or my ex was told to leave me to date only women in AA etc.
These groups have opened the door to some real healing, but I think one has to be very cautious which groups they visit.
My group is so wonderful and kind, but just brings me down. I went to a 12 step group as well and it was one of the worst experiences of my life.
I truly get more or out meditation, Buddhism, spiritual books and exercising, but the this group did help me understand A LOT about me and my actions/reactions.
