I worked last night. We served a rabbit ragu with pappardelle. Tacky. . .but actually a bit yummy.
Sorry about your group. I've been to a few open meetings, to my daughters NA when they had celebrations and the meetings at my xabf's rehab before I was tossed aside. Seems to me there are lots of mandated people who don't give a fig and are taking up space and there is nothing that can be done about it without violating the policy that you only have to have a desire to stop drinking. But mandated people don't have that desire from what I can see. They only desire to make the judge happy. The future for the groups is bleak if that can't be reigned in. I'm no AA fan, but it works for some and those people need a chance in functional groups.
