I think there's also a good chance the wheels came off this "intervention" when the AA person realized what unrealistic expectations were being placed on her (and that's another odd thing--12th Step calls are generally made by a member of the same sex) and this conversation. The AA member might have envisioned just a sharing of what AA can offer and the promises of sobriety, and when she realized they were expecting something like Intervention on TV, she (wisely) backed out.
