Well that may be a bit strong but, it is remarkable that AA  for nearly ninety years has continued as as it has without much of a power struggle. I pray that continues, for if it does not, it’s likely the whole society would die. 

To bring this down to our level, it’s all about the personalities within the meetings. I know speaking for myself, when someone begins to dominate a meeting, I can feel my feathers getting ruffled. However, these days, I have been taught, it’s so important for me to make sure I’m not the one ruffling feathers at the meeting! I don’t want to be part of the problem today I want to be part of the solution. A PART… of the solution.. God help me, not THE solution! 

A gal on the meeting today said it best… 

“We are all only human, so we just make the circle a little larger to include the new man or woman.” Seems simple but, not easy. Thank goodness we have but one ultimate authority.
