People attending my Father’s AA Meetings are from every socio-economic status.

Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, you name it, they are there.

I’m amazed that those same people have achieved so much while living as Alcoholics. I had a hard enough time getting where I am in Life without having that problem.

These are very intelligent people who had a Vice they just couldn’t shake on their own. There is no stereotype.

I totally agree with you. Plenty of open meetings I have attended had numerous of CEOs, owners of corporations, doctors and dentists (though many of them didn't go because of the potential stigma from would-be patients.

Also, there were numbers of airline pilots who attended out-of-state meetings so that they weren't in danger of being "outed."

They claimed they could work for the airlines as drunks, just not admitted alcoholics attending AA!
