We go around the room,no going back double dipping ,when we hit the end of the line,it`s over,close the meeting
When I was new, 100% self centered, and only went to meetings for ME so I could share to benefit ME, I would have hated a meeting like that.

After a about a year of not drinking AND not recovering and wishing my darn life would just end, I walked into a meeting very similar and fiiiiiiiiinally got open to the solution that AA guaranteed it had. Bless your homegroup - were it not for places like this stubborn guys like me who insist that meetings are to share whatever they want anytime they want probably would have offed themselves .
