This "club" should be run out of town! Any club who will NOT allow addicts or whoever that needs help needs some education on the Principles of AA. Granted, AA is for Alcoholics, but for a long time we have allowed addicts also to attend our meetings WITHOUT having to say they are alcoholics!!!

And NOt give someone a chip for a month of sobriety?? That's about the BEST time to give a member a chip!! That's when they're the most vulnerable, and they NEED recognition!! They NEED a pat on the back, and Kudos!!!

And not having a group conscience except every 2 or 3 years? Boy, that's really great. And having the same old fogies on the committees year after year? No wonder the group is such a mess!! THEY are the ones who should be escorted out to the parking lot!! They just dry-drunks!!!

Cookfan, I hope you find a new group, and a new sponsor. This group will NOT serve you well, believe me. Best of luck, and God bless. Hugs, Lee
