If you're in an Al Anon meeting, and someone presents a program that is based on what is

[raccoon]

clearly NOT Conference Approved Literature, do you know of a polite way to handle it?

1. No

I have been in the rooms for a long time and I simply say: This is not conference approved literature. We don't discuss it here.

You don't get sober and/or sane to act like a wimp. Speak up if someone is pushing literature that is not acceptable.

2. I once went to an Al Anon meeting straight from AA and had a couple of my AA books with me.

I came in and sat down and I was told to take my "non approved" books off of the table. I felt awful. I don't think it hurts to be polite. A little sensitivity goes a long way in the rooms, since you never know how hard a place someone else is coming from. :(

3. That is a lot of hearts,

I might have been turned off from that group forever.
