I'd outright tell her what I felt about that. My meetings aren't nearly as strict as that, although I only attend evening meetings. If someone goes over, no one cares as long as it's not too much over. Being exactly on time like that seems a little an@l retentive. I mean, for noon meetings when you have an hour lunch timing is good, but getting so worked up about going three minutes over is a little ridiculous. Although I went to a meeting once where they didn't believe in giving out chips. I had gone that night to get my one month chip and they basically said, why should you be rewarded and recognized with a chip for being sober? It's your duty to be sober, you shouldn't be commended for it. So I never went back to that meeting. No wonder there were only 5 of us there. I like the evening meeting I go to at the church, there's always quite a number of people and no one cares if you go over, and they give out chips.
