Bmac, I went to meetings for the first four months - every day. I found in the end that AA was not for me but I got a lot out of it regardless. There is a lot of wisdom in the rooms. I still read the daily readings and spend time on the spiritual. I think AA as a program is valuable. It is a good common sense way to live a happy life. It's just important to put ego aside and not take things personally that are said by people - whether in AA or anywhere else.
None of us are perfect. I believe that all painful experiences teach me something and that if something bothers me, it is me who has the problem. I come from a pure place, not meaning harm, and I feel others (for the most part) do too. People in AA are trying to get better. God's not through with any of us yet
