My question is - is this NORMAL at AA meetings or have I just found a group of depressives? It put me right off and left me feeling like i needed a drink to get all their problems out of my head (I tend to take things on board and want to solve things for people)
Oh, I just read your post and question - guess there was more?
So the question is - Have you been to meetings in the States and UK? If so, compare and contrast please.....
No, I have not
But, thanks for playing guess the question - Ha, Ha!
IMO - Groups probably still vary regardless of geographical location - Some strong some not, pehaps
