Hi Buffala,
I agree with everything you said. The old-timers are exactly like that.
But the only requirement for membership is the desire to not drink and I keep coming back to that.
I am now going to about 4 meetings per week. I go randomly, whenever it fits in with my schedule. And I find that I actually ENJOY meetings now. I really hated meetings when I went every day.
I expressed my anxieties to my sponsor last week. She has backed off this issue. I must say I'm not used to that. I'm not used to people respecting my boundaries and being supportive. I really expected her to continue to try and convince me that her way is best. I'm really surprised, and happy!
