We have a 17 year "bully" at my old meeting and I used to get so frustrated I just quit. I couldn't stop focusing on her and get over it....I found a new meeting. (sorry, I am not helping)

I find that when I feel 'most' connected - the things other's do at meetings don't bother me too much, OR - I am moved to say something to them and it usually is helpful.

That being said - if I really am convinced that my problems are of my own making - it isn't anyone elses fault when I am annoyed.

I just want to stay sober.
