sorry that you had these experiences, i can relate to aspects of them as well.

each meeting can be quite different. i had to try 10-20 of them in my city to find a few that were on my wavelength.

i don't attend aa meetings as often as i used to in early sobriety, but i still go if i have a friend that's struggling and want to open this resource to them.

at every meeting, there are things that people say that resonate and things that are cringe-worthy or even inflammatory.

part of the meditation and process is being able to be hear and react to everyone's words with equanimity.
