I've met alot of guys like the one at the AA meeting, gals too. He was right, there was certainly a denial of responsibility, but the way he went about putting that point across seemed smug and mean spirited. Maybe some newcomers respond positively to that? And the ones that tell people that they aren't ready to recovery because they don't accept all of the dogma... the 'go out and drink some more until you are down and out enough that you will believe anything' message. I've heard that a few times lol. Not really a responsible message to give to newcomers either. Thankfully not everyone in AA is like that and thankfully there are alternatives if you look for them, and even some AA members that will turn you on to those alternatives if they think it may be a better fit.
