I suspect some people might not seen genuine because they worry about what others think. Easier to get along by going along. Don't share anything which others might find unsettling
On the other hand a fellow at yesterdays meeting said he never experienced an spiritual awaking before, during or after working the 12 steps.
But then he has 33 years of sobriety and isn't shy about speaking his mind.
