I believe you. A veteran 12 step member from AA told me in my GA meeting that. He said a wise man told him to shut up for 2 years. Maybe he is full of it. I don't know. Maybe he did not like what I had to say.
I absolutely agree you have to communicate. From my past year experience, I would recommend to listen more to individuals that have more clean time. If I had to do it over again that is how I would approach these 12 steps programs. Everybody is different and may prefer to verbalize more. I tried this approach and it failed for me. However, I did find speaking to others members outside meeting very beneficial.
I do plan on attending at least 2 meetings this week.
