I have personally been ejected from three AA meetings.
in the first group from which i was ejected, my crime was that i only wanted to sit and listen.. i did not want my own copy of the blue book. i did not want an official sponsor. i did not want to intentionally work the steps. i only wanted to listen. i attended three meetings per day at this group. 6pm, 8pm, 10pm. for 300 days. i was onsite for six hours per day, 6pm until midnight. i attended 900 meetings and was onsite for 1,800 hours in 300 days.
omg, these poor alcoholics about lost their minds over my just wanting to sit and listen. it just about drove them mad.
it was actually the most educational experience for my recovery, but lets just say that i did not make any friends during that ordeal.
in the second group that i was thrown out of, it was pretty much the same thing.. there were two very enthusiastic sponsors that pretty much sponsored somewhere between twenty and thirty people and they also wanted to sponsor me. nah, i am going to pass on that. especially considering that one of the two is high on narcotics and the other is way way drunk. the one that is drunk, he is something of a rare alcoholic. most alcoholics, you can tell that they are drunk.. they will exhibit some kind of symptom of being drunk.. wobbly walking.. giggly giggles. usually an alcoholic will stink of alcohol. but not this guy. you cant smell it on him. he stands up straight as an arrow. no slurred speech. but for two months, he badgered me to work the steps, in order, like they are on the wall, according to the book, he insisted. after two months of listening to him beg to be my sponsor, i let him take me out to lunch. like it was normal, he ordered margaritas and encouraged me to drink with him. wow. true story. that boy can drink like an octopus and you cant tell. he put down four large margaritas at a restaurant called chachos and he bought a four loco at the gas station and stopped off at a liquor store and i followed him to his apartment where he sat and drank whiskey and beer while he read the big book to me. he also offered to me synthetic weed while i was at his apartment.
no, i am going to pass on having him as a sponsor.
when i suggested to that group that he was drinking, they called me a liar and he told them that i was the one that is drinking. not true.
long drama filled story.
aa is crazier than a bag of screws.
