Another district meeting tonight, another control freak in action. This time the alt-DR. Literally said aloud "Im running this meeting and its going to be MY way".
So of coure, I had to say something.Im a Leo, of course. I am no longer the sick, shrinking violet affected by alcoholism where I just sit by and let folks control me.
Long story short. I said what I meant, meant what I said and did not say it mean. And she didnt like it. Not-one-bit. So she told me to shut up and be quiet. Yup. No lie. Do you think I took that advice?
heh heh heh.
I cant believe how shocked I still am when folks ugly, sick, toxic character defects rage out. But in an Al-Anon meeting, even a district meeting? All traces of recovery disappear. She railed on me with such anger and crude insults....and no one in the room said a flipping word. She was trying to violate a motion that was approved in last months meeting, a vote we were due to take, by DICTATING that she was tired and didnt want to vote on it this month. You know, just like a dictator. Didnt ask the group if we can delay it, just declared it wouldnt happen. She seems to think she can do that. We are a democracy, or we were til tonight, when we became a communist society.
Ahhhhh, who ever said the alcoholic is the sickest kid in the room?

It sounds as if there is a bit of governing going on in that trusted servant (or twisted serpent). Hmmm...I don't like control and domination. Ego firmly in charge is a sign of deep fear. Inventory and more inventory with a lot of prayer to get me through something like this. There are plenty of sick people in Al-Anon who are just a hair's breadth away from total unmanageability and insanity.
Is a different meeting/group out of the question?
I just do not understand why NOBODY stood up with you to quell that type of Alanon leadership.
I better shut up before I become angry. and I'm not even IN Alanon--although I did go to a meeting of Alanon today.
