What do you make of your experience?
-It's very comfortable. Everyone is really inviting and friendly. The alcoholics don't care that I am there.. If anything they see it as support. I think they like it when people visit because then they can get their own understanding of how the subculture really is and banish any stereotypes.
-I have represented them in a good way. I have made it clear that everyone is struggling with something inside and for these people it just happens to be alcohol. It is truly a life-threatening disease and I think people will respect alcoholics a lot more after hearing what I have to say.
-I got everything that I wanted out of the experience and more. It taught me a lot about the world and myself. It gave me great insight into the lives of alcoholics. To have to struggle with something like alcoholism is devastating. I have learned that everyone has problems and that someone in the world has it worse than me. After studying the subculture, I will not take things for granted and I will spend more time working on becoming a better person.

Do you have the authority? Why. Why not.
I think that I have some amount of authority. I am allowed to and even have, ran the meetings before. Even though anyone can run them, I still felt very honored. I wasn't an alcoholic before and I'm not now, but I think that I have lived vicariously through some of the people and gotten into their heads. The information they've shared with me has really given me a credible sense of authority.
