Bri-- Yea, I've seen that stuff at AA too. I've seen the good and the bad. In the bay area it is very clique-y, some of these people form their kingdoms and meeting politics can get ugly; they violate the 12 principals reguarly.
But there are some quality people in the mix too. I just got a phone call from a guy I haven't seen in two years. We compared notes on our job situations and he wished me luck in my search. No agenda for his call, just checking in.
But, really, I had to leave AA because I was getting new relationships that generated new resentments to use 4th Step on. Kind of feeding on itself.
