Anyone else feel drained after meetings just because of all the over sharing and people talking over each other ? lol it’s exhausting at times

I’m not trying to come off negative because I’m grateful for my outpatient group but we all know that one person who always interrupts or takes up all of meeting talking about themselves lol
Outpatient groups are ok. Yet, the real growth comes from getting plugged into a program on a regular basis. Try recovery meetings outside outpatient groups. They are suppose to gear you up for the outside world of recovery
How bout the same story week after week after week! I'm mean I try to be supportive of every body but this one dude says the same stuff every week for like 4 months now I can tell his story backwards

It’s the worst.
yes! I’ve been hearing about this man complain about his ex wife for about 4 months now. I really do feel for him but man is there like nothing positive that goes on in your life ?
Call him out on it. Not like in a mean way. I have had to do that a few times with people. If that is the only thing he has, ask about the good in his life. What does he have now that he is sober? What does he want to do? Sometimes people get fixated because they don’t know anything else.
Take what you need and leave the rest behind!!
