Hi there - I'm new to the forum - I'm actually here for advice on helping someone else. I have not personally dealt with addiction, so I do realize that you might take my words with a grain of salt. But that being said, I would like to say~
1. Have you talked to the group leader about their requirements, and how it just isn't feasible for you? 90 meetings in 90 days to me seems rather, well, impossible. If the group leader doesn't ever get feedback, he/she may not ever try to improve the group.
2. Not all groups are right for all people. If it is possible, I do not think it is wrong by any means to try to find a new group. I personally would even drive an hour to find a group that had the right people.
Sorry I don't have any personal experiences, however hopefully someone else will soon.
Also, I may have NO CLUE what I am talking about, but have you also thought of just starting your own group? The website www.meetup.com is an easy way to organize a group. Perhaps you might even find a PHD student who would be willing to lead the group for a very low fee or even at no cost.
