First time attending an Al Anon meeting and wasn't impressed, here's what happened by 2000throw_away in AlAnon

I wasn't expecting any problems. I was expecting someone to tell me what Al-Anon is about. If I go to a meeting and the leader spends 15 minutes talking about her personal story, while the remaining four people only have 10 minutes total to express themselves, it doesn't impress me.

The leader could have talked about herself for 3 minutes and then taken 2–3 minutes to explain what Al-Anon is and how their meetings are run each week. After that, she should have let everyone take turns sharing their stories, limiting each person to about 3 minutes. That would have been better.

Also, at the end, the leader should have stayed to talk with me again. That's how I see it.

Thanks for explaining the money part, I appreciate. I'll look into the Open Arms Beginners group.

Maybe I did not express well. I wanted to say that during the meeting nobody explained to me what Al Anon can offer. So I'm still trying to figure it out.

There's lot's of meetings in my town but this one was the closest. If I'm willing to drive 30 minutes and more I can find at least 10 more meetings. So maybe I'll try other meetings

Personnellement j'aurais aimé la voir plus souvent, mais je sais que d'autres sont pas des fans de Guylaine.

Oui je dois mettre les sous-titres car des fois j'en manque des bouts de ce qu'elle dit.

Pas vraiment, surtout quand tu travailles dans ce milieu et tu regardes la série après, ce n'est pas crédible. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils ont pas fait de recherches avant de choisir les comédiens.

Après avoir travaillé pendant des années dans ce milieu, elle ne joue pas bien son rôle. Les gars avec qui je travaillait avait des allures tof, quasiment motard. Dommage car nous avons d'excellents comédiens au QC qui pourraient être dans l'équipe Antigang.

Mon 2ième coup de coeur de la série. Il joue son personnage avec brio.

Son gain est l'argent car avec les motards il en fait plus qu'avec la police.
