if you don't like or feel comfortable in the first AA group you join or attend,
find another. I'm not an alcoholic but I had a 12 step problem and after going to 3 or 4 different groups I found a women's only group that I felt very comfortable.
I'm still amazed at how many times I was hit on at the first groups. Good grief...
Not bragging either, trust me, these were not "winners" seeking me out. ANYHOW, please bear that in mind.
Something tells me you are in a correctional facility--(as a guard or supervisor not an inmate!).
If so, You won't see a lot of love or affection or positive affirmations going on there all day. YOU are allowed to be angry often as you want there. You don't need a reason b/c you have all the power. Maybe that's an issue for you to consider.
Sadly, You will see many ugly things people do to each other.
When I practiced criminal law it depressed me. I had wanted to be Perry Mason and save the innocents from the jaws of injustice. Too bad most were guilty and I usually lost. 3 years and I was burnt out.
If I'm way off there, feel free to ignore all this.
Hang in there. It's not over yet.
