I am no fan of Clancy, but I see some misconceptions here. Laurie noted that Clancy ran the Downtown Rescue Mission. He worked with a lot of those street level drunks and helped them get sober. The suit & tie thing came from Clancy helping those guys get back on their feet. A suit & tie helped them regain some of their dignity. I've been to The Pacific Group. I was wearing jeans and didn't feel excluded at all. On the...

A 40's meeting? Meetings "A 'spiritual experience' to me meant attending meetings, seeing a group of people, all there for the purpose of helping each other; hearing the Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions read at a meeting, and hearing the Lord's Prayer, which in an AA meeting has such great meaning -- 'They will be done, not mine.' A spiritual awakening soon came to mean trying each day to be a...

I understand that in the 1940's a suit and tie would make a person feel dignigied Not as much today though. Still, if it ain't broke you don't need to fix it. We have a few of the strong leader types like Clancy. (on a much smaller scale of course) Some people need to lead and some need to follow. Alot in AA don't do either very well........

Thanks to a couple guys here at SR, I've found a sponsor that I can relate to and feel comfortable with in AA. I"m going into rehab on Friday, and my sponsor likes that idea, so I'm going to swallow my pride and just do it. Thanks for all your help guys (you know who you are) and thanks to all of you here at SR for helping me start down a new path toward recovery.

Wow! Where to start?
First of all, welcome to SR, Nikki! Nice first post!
Secondly, nice post to bump up! To get further insight into what it was like back in the pre-traditions A.A., read the story He Sold Himself Short .
I like that one. And I didn't used to think I liked the stories because some honks from my old group said "our trusted servants aren't reliable anymore". But ...

No, I would not sign the paper unless the person had attended the entire meeting. So, the person doesn't think AA is right for them? Big deal. They evidently got in trouble with the law because of their drinking and they are now having to suffer the consequences. After they have fulfilled their duties under the law, they can stop attending meetings if they wish; however, in the meantime, they...

I learned for me the only way to learn how to date in sobriety was by dating in sobriety, and then checking my experiences with those sober alcoholics in whom I trusted with relationships I respected that I know face to face.
The BB has some great things to offer starting on page 69, I stick to that format very very carefully, and have nothing to add.

I don't have as much experience to share as others here do, so I will say only a little.
There is so much drama here. I don't know, that could be you, her or you+her. Do you have someone who you could work with where the relationship would be more.... hmm, collaborative?

No.
The users of the book need an overhauling and that's what they get.
Besides, there is absolutely positively no way to change the 164. Why? Because we'd need all the groups and all the members to vote it in to change it and we couldn't even vote to stop smoking in the rooms. Remember that? Dead mummys came to the grave to vote that change down. I seen it wit mine own eyes!

For sure, talk to her about what you've said here and how it bothers you and then, take advantage of choice #2 depending on her reaction.
No one can make you drink unless you want to drink. Believe me, life can get a lot harder and make us feel a lot worse than a sponsor saying something to hurt feelings. An excuse has been defined as a "feeble attempt at finding reason where no reason ...

You don't need to know that, FS.
You haven't got all the answers, and you never will. Noone does.
Trust in the people who've gone before you, and made this whole thing work.
Listen.

I mean, if someone is is crisis, then, of course, I'll do what I need ...

We Alanons are supposed to be focusing on ourselves, not the alcoholic. Did you say anything when you heard these people say what you reported? This is NOT Alanon, and not approved Alanon anything. We have enough issues keeping our own side of the street clean.
