Recovery Working the Program Chairing is Difficult By admin Posted on February 1, 2020 1 min read 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr I’ve had personality conflicts in the past. Once, I was chairing my home group’s business meeting, and it was not clear how the meeting should be conducted. A couple of people criticized me because I was not using Robert’s Rules of Order. I was not familiar with them. I asked if anyone would like to take over, but no one raised a hand. I was able to finish the meeting. Afterward, a couple of people thanked me, but all I could do was cry. I didn’t go back to the meeting for a year. Only by the grace of God was I able to stay abstinent during that time. Later, I had a sponsor who insisted I go back, chair the meeting, and then report back on what had happened. I did what my sponsor suggested, and it was very healing. God is good. — Evelyn
