erfra,
i don't know you, other than from this thread.
but clearly you have been around a while.
your comments about AA , fellowship and sponsor jumped out at me. i wonder if you have done the work suggested in the program?
as far as meetings, and running into intolerance and worse, yes, i have met some such folks.
but you live in Coquitlam, and the Lower Mainland has somewhere between 6-700 different meetings every week. no shortage of meetings; if you see value in following the suggestions and implementing the actual steps, then throwing AA aside because of a few prejudiced or just plain nasty people seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, yknow?

hey erfra....ever considered doing some 'service'?
as i said, i only know this thread, so maybe you've talked about hat somewhere else.
'service' is not just a cornerstone of AA, but really is part of pretty much all spiritual traditions.
and just makes plain good psychological sense and usually helps combat that feeling of worthlessness.
just a thought.

erfra, I totally understand how you feel about meetings. There can be really weird people sometimes. Check out different meetings, and you might find a better group you "click with."
Please keep writing. I'll read and respond!
