VWGIRL: How many different groups did you have to go to till you found the "right one"? I don't have a whole lot of choice, but if I was willing to drive a little i'de have much more choices. Maybe I need to find the "right one" also, maybe that's what i'm missing.
Thanks
For me, what I've noticed is meetings take on personalities of their own...meetings change and the dynamics change; when I first got sober I enjoyed going to a meeting where there were a lot of newcomers (lots of chronic relapsers too) and I felt comfortable because there were a lot of drunk a logs and I could identify, that is when I was newly sober. When I started to grow in my recovery I sought out meetings that pertained more to the solution (recovery). So, I guess in answer to your question, with so many mtgs to choose from it has not taken me very long to find meetings that fit into where I am in the recovery process. Hope that helps, not sure though -smile-
