I REALLY do not like being called on to 'share' in meetings. If I don't talk, everyone asks if I'm okay? How the eff do I know? Give me a break, people.

Okay, so I have a resentment. Or a thousand. Mayhaps they will go away at some point. Too many meetings lately, I think. I remember thinking in the past that people gave up alcohol and then got obsessed with AA. I'm confused.

I'm also apparently not in the best mood today. *lesigh*
So sorry you had that experience Bimini. Maybe you can weigh how much you want to (or don't want to) talk to people with how much you feel you need an AA meeting at any given time? Don't know what the magic formula is it can vary from one day to the next and we are all different. Most importantly you are here expressing how you feel. That makes a difference!
