I haven’t. But I have heard complaints about new women frequently being creeped or preyed on by more established members. They call it uhh… the 13th step? It really doesn’t seem productive to put really ill and vulnerable people all in together.
All I can say is go with your gut and don’t turn the other cheek to creepy or disrespectful behaviour. That’s your self preservation speaking. Perhaps see about a women’s group (if they behave any better that is).
Yeah the women in the program are generally better behaved . There's just not many specific women's groups and some of them are very not welcoming of trans women. I'm supposed to feel empowered and closer to my higher power after meetings, but mostly I'm just fucking annoyed now lmao. Oh well, I've stopped drinking, stopped smoking weed and stopped vaping. But I was told not to stop vaping and I stopped smoking weed ages ago, but I needed something to replace drinking with other pissheads on the internet and it has done that.
