I have rhapsodically written poetry inspired by Alanon. It’s such a hidden-in-plain-sight kind of space. I agree too that it’s not perfect, but it’s often so much more satisfying than many of the tonier-seeming alternatives. Sometimes you just need a basement, bad coffee and a bunch of well intentioned people who could be anywhere else and are choosing to be there. For you. It’s magic.

I 100% agree. I’m in recovery groups, too, and i have nothing insightful to add other than yes, just yes.
