-I called the office recently to purchase literature . The office manager Irene asked me where I attend meetings. I told her where some of my meetings are and she proceeded to say that she would not sell me literature if I attend those meetings. She shared gossip with me and told me it dates back from many years ago. She states its all true and her sponsor, the ex-officio from the Intergroup has told her these things. -I've been attending Al-Anon for 6 months I have a God. I did not react but realized how angry Irene is. I told her that this has not been my experience and I truly like all the meetings I attend. -I find it very disturbing that an office manager acts like that. In my company, she would have been fired, and especially since I heard a board member said the same thing about Irene. I bought literature in Santa Fe Springs where the ladies are so loving and friendly.
