I have a question and maybe someone can give me advice. The meeting I attend that is my home group, I’ve been attending for over 2 years now. Lately, however, it’s been getting very very cliquey and almost high school-ish. It’s been going on for awhile now but kinda getting annoyed with it. Would it be best to start looking for a different meeting to go to or should I just suck it up and just continue going to the meeting I’ve always gone to. Any advice appreciated!!

I found that change helps me. I have a winter home group and a summer home group. It’s going to happen eventually that groups of people just kind of find their “people” just like high school. I say change it up, what’s the worst thing that can happen. Nothing says you can not go back. And you just may find your own “people” at a different group.

Sweet! Thank you for the advice. I most likely will be changing my group and going somewhere else to change it up

I would say yes to looking for other options. But also try to maintain your current group if you can, to whatever degree. Don’t want to place all your eggs in one basket, as they say.
I don’t like the idea of having just one home group. Most weeks I go to meetings at the same 4 different groups and I sort of consider all of these kind of my home groups. And for sure, two of them I definitely consider my home groups.
I think the main thing about having one home group is that AA doesn’t want you holding positions in multiple groups (GSR, treasurer, etc.).

Changing it up is good. I attended my home group for years. But I got burned out and decided to find another. If you don’t want to switch, I recommend becoming the secretary of the meeting, make coffee and clean up ( you may already ). This helps me get in the clic instead of being outside. I have found there are always clicks. In any group. Principles before personalities.

Sometimes change is necessary to continue growing. Sometimes we have to be the change that we want to see. You could try bringing change to the group you’re in or you could change home groups. I would say pray on it and ask for direction from your higher power.
Yep. Time to change it up
