When I was new there was one member who made it a point of saying I'd end up in the gutter if I didn't follow lock step with what he said
I got the feeling he was more upset with me not wanting him as a sponsor than anything else
Looking back he might have been sober but he was still damaged.
Before getting sober he attempted suicide, had two failed marriages and changed his family name because he hated them.
An angry man who could have benefited from professional help.
