Question Not exactly sure where to post this.

What is a working with others meeting in AA? That's what is on the schedule tonight, and I have no idea what it is.

Chapter 7 in the big book. It is all about helping other alcoholics.

Yeah, and if it's the former, I believe it would focus in on wet drunks and guys/gals who are potential candidates for the A.A. program. A chance for the recovered alcoholic to meet the abnormal drinker and find out where they are at with booze and if they are in rough shape, try to help them see that and offer the A.A. program as it's outlined in the Book as a potential solution.

There's all kinds of awesome instruction in that Chapter 7.

If you're ever to be in a meeting and it comes your time to share on such a topic, realize that there are two sides to that coin; how you pitched new or wet drunks and how you were pitched prior to coming in yourself, aka how you were approached.

It was about chapter 7, but we ended up going over acceptance instead. Talked to my sponsor for a while after the meeting. Going back tomorrow.

@ Carol, the name of the group is something else, but I don't know if I'm supposed to say?...so I'll just keep my trap shut.

You can probably divulge the name of the group. It's usually in the AA meeting schedule anyway. Or not. It really doesn't make any difference.
