Find another group that doesnt offend you... but to be honest I could say that what you just said is offensive too straight people .so maybe you're just too sensitive move on quit drinking remember you're there to quit drinking not pick on other people and decide that what they're saying isn't what you want to hear I'm sure that person was offensive but hey take it easy would you

It's weird that you're from South Carolina and you're that sensitive my daughter lives down there and she tells me about how horrible it is to live in that area she's moving because of it so maybe you're in the wrong place baby

Hi Allie! Thanks for your kind words. I know some people on here don’t quite understand how disheartening it is to be in a room full of people saying awful things about who you are as a person. Not to mention I felt like if I said something then I’d have to walk to my car in the dark alone with these people and things are kinda scary for our community right now so I definitely wasn’t trying to provoke anyone. I’m thinking about doing a zoom meeting. Do you have one that you’d suggest?

I’m agnostic myself so I totally get where you’re coming from. People can’t be super hateful and the last thing I need while I’m trying to get better is other people making me feel worse.

If it had just been one single person it would’ve been different. But it was 9 people plus the person in charge of running the group. I can handle other peoples opinions however but for some reason this made me feel very alone and pretty much hated by everyone.

They have LBTQ Meetings I hope you can find them. If not in person, you’re right probably on zoom. Unfortunately, you can’t fix STUPID!

It's a shame that we have to deal with this in our recovery but it's an unfortunate reality in not just recovery but the world in general. There are some meetings I stear clear of in my county for that same reason. There are people that are too political and judgemental or just outright racist or sexist. I'm proud of you for not drinking and coming here to share about it. You can be yourself here and find support

Oh Tim🤦‍♂️ You don’t appear to be a very smart man, just more of a heartless a-hole. You’ve completely missed the point, doesn’t surprise me. The program that Jessica is in for assistance in getting sober has attacked the very person that Jessica is to the core as well as Jessica’s community. Any attacks on anybody’s anything has absolutely no place in recovery or anywhere else really. It’s is a trust thing. A person probably won’t be very successful in recovery if they cannot trust the environment that they are in. You may want to go chew on some of those roofing nails on this topic and put your keypad away. Such a d!ck response.

I personally don’t let anyone or anything keep me from attending a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I’ve been offended, but it’s
“Principles before personalities”

Attend your meeting and remember, if your a real alcoholic, like it talks about in the book, you don’t need an excuse to drink. So don’t look for one.

Thanks Jeff. I didn’t respond to Tim because he sounds like a person who is extremely ignorant. But that’s just my opinion I suppose. Like Eileen said, you can’t fix stupid! :woman_shrugging:t4:
