22 years sober in AA. The old timers reminded me that l wasn't there to critique a group... we all have the common denominator, when it comes to the bottle we are on an equal playing field. Wasn't there to spend months 'shopping' for a sponsor... there is no perfect one. Its surprising what we can learn by listening to someone share that we don't particularly like.. Sometimes it helps us what not to do if we want quality sobriety. As the Big Book says "Acceptance is the key to all of my problems today." Just because you "accept" that something is, does not mean you have to agree with it. Don't drink and go to meetings, most of all, keep coming back.

Ps get a Home group,get a sponsor. Our founders Bob and Bill would be the first to say.. there is no perfect one of either. If you have a choice fine. If there are only one or two meetings in town and you don't like either, go anyway. I guarantee you will hear something you were meant to hear. Take care of yourself and do the things you are supposed to do and you will be a "power of example" to others.
