Hi, I'm Ken and I'm an alcoholic. I'm from Minnesota, but I have a friend online from Deleware county, Pennsylvania who has had a bad experience with some meetings. Meetings where people just whined about their problems, but working no solution. What I'm looking for is some good solid meetings that I can recommend to her. What I mean by solid is: Strong sponsorship (someone who will take her through the steps, I.E. another woman who has been through them herself), a place where "whining" during a meeting is discouraged (after all, that is why we have sponsors), meetings where people are not just content to "put the plug in the jug" but live better lives as a result of working through and living the steps. If anyone can help direct her to some meetings in the area that sound something like what I just described, please contact me at

-Thank you,
Ken
ps: no offense is meant here, just trying to help a friend.
