Ladyjane - about the AA meetings where you felt so disconnected to the people there -

the WeightWatchers people have meetings too, and I know that some meetings are constructed specifically for people who have a lot to lose, as they say. Nothing is more demoralizing than to need to lose say 50 lbs, and sit through a WW meeting where people 30 yrs younger start whining about having to lose 3 lbs......
So I'm thinking, it's quite possible that AA might have meetings that are geared to younger people. Could you (or even yr T) look into that?

Hugs to you, this is hard work. Hang in there.
