Being as this thread is still being discussed I'll chip in briefly.
The people you meet in AA entirely depends on which meeting you go to. There is a meeting or two in Mayfair (incredibly affluent region of London) which is held in an oak-panelled old fashioned board room. 80% of the regular attendees are CEO level execs from what I have seen/heard. Joining them are the occasional chef/cleaner/homeless Street drunk. All are in the same boat.
Alcoholism does not discriminate...people discriminate and they choose which meetings they go to. Or they choose who to speak to.
Any doubters out there, try this...next time you are sitting in a "low bottom" meeting, make conversation with the guy next to you. You may be surprised to discover you're speaking to a doctor/lawyer/Management Accountant.
