Question abt Alanon meetings, what is/not appropriate?
I went to my first Alanon meeting. I went a little early, to ask the group leader some questions abt how they work. Obviously, I'm new to these things & want to follow whatever rules there are & what is or isn't appropriate.
She told me 'this isn't the place for discussing your personal situation or getting advice.'
Huh???? Did I interpret these meetings wrongly? Aren't they actually for (among other things) trying to get input from others and to understand what is going on with your A - SA ?
So I sat there the whole time & didn't say a word. I don't know if I will go back.

What did the other people say at the meeting?
Do you want to share in that same way? It is not a place for discussing, and usually people don't comment on others' situations.
