We
quote:
“I
saw a flyer for a meeting at a local club. It said they were having a
new attitude at three meetings in a neighboring town. They called
pledged themselves to be primary purpose groups. I know you guys
raise an eyebrow at groups named that due to a likelihood of them
being cult like. But sometimes around here it is “code” for we
follow the Traditions in regard to no drug addicts or drug shares and
that everyone must have a desire to quit drinking. Some times they
further morph and take a group conscience to not sign court slips. So
I went to see what was the case here.
The
way the flyer was worded I got my hopes up that it was the latter.
Unfortunately when I got there it was certain that the group signed
court slips. When the meeting started, there were 13 people in the
room and 11 court slips. The chairwoman had to have another member
sign her slip! This did not stop her from signing everyone else’s!
This
meeting is listed as closed and is very convenient for those who have
to take a blood alcohol test each morning. They just go do that at 8
AM and then head over to the AA meeting which is held at 9
AM...........”
We
would be interested to hear from other AA members with regard to
their own experience and/or observations of the CMA ('chit') system
(good or bad). We can be contacted at our email address here.
