I know exactly what you mean cathy . I do the detox Roster for out District ( AA). We go into local detox facillitys, tell our story give out some litrature, ect once a week. There is an opportunity for us to take the patients to the near by meeting. Somew of them go " just to have the outing". I have not seen more than 2 come back of their own volition after they were discharged , and they didn't stay.
I used to get very dispondent about it , but as my Sponser said, it is my responibility to take them to a meeting if they wish to go, and pass on the message, what they do with it then is their bussiness.
It is so sad, isn't it ?
