I love Ron Livingston But the writers do not know anything about how recovery groups work. Recovering alcoholic addicts do not run a group by themselves. It's a We program, no leaders just trusted servants. A group leader gets voted into a service position, usually 12 weeks, then it gets turned over to another member.. A substance support group is different than an AA or NA Recovery group. The writers needed to attend several groups to know.
They came up with an idea then wrote about what they don't know anything about. Writers do your research!
