thats hard to experience but i think most of us at some time or another has experienced it. its not an easy decision for the group to make, but its very important for us to provide a safe and protective atmosphere for the newcomer. yes, we are all at different phases of development. yes, there are those with grave emotional and mental disorders. BUUUUUT, allowing them to continue comin into a meeting and being disruptive is enabling them continue unacceptable behavior.
if that was my first meeting and that happened? i dont think i would have kept going back.

"I don't feel anyone should be denied a meeting if they need it."

theres a crapload of people that really need meetings,
but meetings and the program are for people that want it- if you have decided you WANT what we have.......
