It happens in meetings and it happens in daily life. Sometimes I confront it when I think it is important to do so and sometimes I ignore it when I don't want the hassle. It tends to cause some degree of discomfort among bystanders who then react setting off a chain of emotional responses that lead to further misunderstandings If I am asked for my opinion, I'll give it but most of the time even my opinions are based on personal experience, things I have gone through, learned or observed. In AA the proven method of success is based on the foundation of one alcoholic sharing their personal experience with another and because of that one thing it is proven to be extremely beneficial.....perfect for an alkie like me!
