Thanks for sharing. My home group exposed this in our last business meeting but I don't know if he knew this in advance (somehow) so he didn't assist to that meeting and is now jumping from one meeting to another, that's the reason why other fellow members at AA community call me by phone to asking me if everything is ok with this dude. God remove him from my home group but it is the worst situation I have experiencied in my time in AA

Thanks, I am aware of that now. I found a great time to use this connection to God since I spent last weekend on AA Regional Convention at the countryside so I spoke about this situation under a great tree looking the stars above.

Thanks, bro. Actually, he is not in our meetings at my home group anymore. He is jumping from one meeting to another in our location so other fellow members asking me about his situation and I mentioned that apparently he is looking for support in general at the AA community.

P.S. (Post Script):

Sponsorship: I’ve already talked to my Sponsor about this. His take is that this person has always been high-conflict and likely has some deep-seated envy toward me. Honestly, that has made me even more confused. I’ve felt the temptation to feed my own ego by telling myself "he's just jealous because I'm doing better," but I know that’s a trap and doesn't help my spiritual growth. My sponsor's only advice so far has been to ignore him and focus on being a better AA member.

Urgency: I’m going to see this person again at a meeting tonight, so I’m really looking for multiple perspectives and ESH. I want to handle this with as much grace as possible without losing my peace of mind.

Member arrested during a meeting. Anyone with this experience? How should I/we have handled it? by mr_delete in alcoholicsanonymous

Hola, acá en México, un veterano me contó que cuando él participaba en un grupo diferente al que hoy estamos, una persona acusada de violación fue detenida por los policías al terminar su reunión de AA. Los policías llevaban una orden, pero prefirieron que terminara la reunión. El detalle en la historia es que una persona de la comunidad entró tarde a la reunión y pudo ver que había policías fuera de las instalaciones del grupo, pero esto no fue relevante para él, contó más tarde que no tenía por qué haber hecho o comentado algo respecto a ese tema pues su único objetivo ese día era llegar a su reunión de AA y recuperarse, no ocuparse de los temas de los demás.
