For ME, meetings are a way of connecting. The jargon and the quotes and clichés are passé at times. BUT it is the effort to going which is important to me. My emotional compass was found to be dysfunctional and just that reminder is what I do meetings for. Only 16 months sober- but I know the eventual outcome for me, and it was very, very scary. If I drink again- next time I will remain permanently dead. If that means putting up with AA zealots - it helps me stay grounded- because I have proven I cannot do this alone.
