I know this lady is a big book quoter and constantly quotes the book, but she never smiles.
And they usually say things like “you can’t dump your problems in a meeting.
In a way I agree and disagree. If someone shares about a problem along with the tools in AA they are using to help solve the issue great.
On the other hand if someone regularly shares for example about trouble at work but offers no solution this can become annoying.
Generally I find most AA meetings fall somewhere in the middle.
A middle ground between those who simply pontificate and a those who use meetings as group therapy.
