And yes, I am working a 12 step program and that is exactly why I refuse to allow anyone to treat me with disrespect of any kind or allow anyone, no matter how much pain they are in....to use verbal or physical violence against me or any AA member at an AA meeting.
Here in our AA Home Group, when there are threats of physical violence or out control behavior by anyone, it is dealt with immediately, by some AA members and/or depending on how out of control someone gets.....the police will be called.
for anyone being violent i would agree but if someone is being angry in a meeting i hardly think so
we keep the aa doors open to all and not just who we like or our well behaved middle class nose in the air type of members
aa is for all.
i am so grateful to those members who put up with me in my early days when i was off my head
i wouldnt of had a chance if members of aa were anything like you and had your attitude thats for sure as you would of kicked me out and banned me.
