Open-meeting Bores

I SUSPECT that many people drift away from AA because they become too bored with meetings. I suspect also that many others are tempted to try another group, but stick it out of convenience, or sheer determination and the fear of what might happen if they slow up their AA activities. And I suspect finally that AA is in no danger at all from the usual moochers, deadbeats, gossips, phonies, Lotharios and loafers, but it is greatly imperiled by the great blanket of boredom that stifles many meetings from coast to coast.
