Likewise Sober Jennie. it's not like I am going out of my way, it is just how I behave since taking the steps. More of a pleasure than anything.

I have to say that most of the unwelcoming groups I have got to know are not deliberately trying to keep people out, or make them feel unwelcome. They are pretty nice folks when I get to know them. It is just that they are a little self absorbed and it didn't occur to them that a newcomer needs to be made welcome. They just didn't think of it, no sinister motive at all, though it might indicate fellowship based sobriety rather than program based sobriety in the group.
