Our original intent with this episode was to talk about how we deal with active alcoholics, while now in recovery.  While soliciting some questions on Instagram, Danielle reached out with an issue she is having at her home group.  There is an active alcoholic who comes into the meeting and is disruptive.  This happens regularly.  She wanted some help on what to do in this situation.

If you attend 12 step meetings, this could be an issue that has come up.  If not, it may in the future and John, Steve and Matt talk about their experience and how best to handle the situation.
