“Back to Basics”

The following group has been brought to our attention by a member (our usual thanks for this contribution) together with their succinct - but telling - commentary:

Back to Basics, Monday 1930, Haugh Court Residents Hall, Haugh Court, Haugh Road, Inverness

“I recently visited a "Back to Basics" meeting in Inverness and I must say that sub-tropical heat and comfy chairs was a nice change from the rickety seating in the draughty church room across the road (where the "regular" AA meeting was being held), but I was disturbed by the script books placed on every chair (with an interpretation of excerpts from the 12 & 12 being read out from the top table, rather than someone sharing what the piece meant to them and how they worked it), the idea that we could "study" 3 steps in an hour, and the small, but significant, alterations to the wording of the steps in the photocopied, freebie "reference notes for studying the big book" (courtesy of Southport B2B group).

I don't know how long a meeting has to run along cult lines, or how far down the sponsor-controlled recovery path it has to stray for it to be included in the Cult Where to Find but I thought it'd be as well to advise of its existence at least.

I shall leave it up to yourselves as to whether it merits being listed”

As usual comments welcome for and against our inclusion of this group in our Cult Where to Find

Cheers

PS Happy New Year to all members! – and an Unhappy New Year to the cult – you better believe it!!
