Unfortunately AA can't include a clause in it's traditions banning idiots from meetings.

Heck, they let me in.

By all means explore AVRT, RR and any secular program available to you!
But couldn't the same thing happen in any group-based program? With any group dynamic, regardless of the program, there are unfortunately, those kinds of personalities.

Be prepared to find rolling eyes and sarcastic chuckles in a secular group, too: and don't pay attention to it. Just remind yourself you aren't there to make friends or be popular. You are there to get sober, try to focus on the people that are recovered enough to support you and help you. Ignore the one's who can't get past their egos.
