First of all I am in the U.S. I could not find a GA forum there online.
My first experience was calling and when I was connected to someone the guy was unfriendly and sounded like it was a duty rather than him being there to help people.
I called to find out if I could attend any meeting because I saw online that some were beginner meetings and some are more advanced. He said I could attend any meeting.
My second experience is actually driving to a meeting, this was a new member meeting. There was only one car in the church parking lot. I parked a few cars over from him. At around 6PM when the meeting was supposed to start another man showed up and he got out of his car and greeted the other man. They then walked over to a side door of a church but it was locked.
I then drove off. I wish they had walked over to my car and asked if I was there for the meeting. I hope I will try again at another time at another meeting. I know I need help and I don't want to hit rock bottom to get it.
