I have seen AA work this way for over 20 years.  When a person has a
problem, they bring it to the fellowship to hear the ES&H of other
recovering alcoholics.
I have at times been frustrated when some people bring the same problem
to the group week after week.  But I try to remember what my sponsor
told me many years ago, "Some are sicker than others".  And I try to be
patient.
Have a happy 24!
