Find a new sponsor, NOW, let go of the old one, and in the future only go to meetings where you don't have to deal with serious Obots.

See if there are some political volunteer jobs you can do, so you can hang out with some NON-AA folks who have interests up your alley and share your world view.

[BTW, I'm sorry to all that responded for my delay in getting back to you all. I finally have a bit of time to read and reply, thanks to All for taking the time to read and reply, it is much appreciated!]

HP - yes, good advice. I have realized for quite some time (as I found myself only calling my old sponsor as a "dutiful obligation" since I no longer had any respect for him and his ignorant views) that I needed to make a change. And yes, I have to find a new meeting somewhere, even if I have to drive an hour or more to get to it.

Good advice on the other front as well. Getting involved and volunteering for efforts within our Tea Party has been a great way to meet more like-minded people. It was also something that was quite revealing to me in another way. In this area of NJ, one will usually see the same (rather large) group of people at all of the various AA meetings in the area. And when I am out and about in the area doing other things like shopping, town/county events, schools, working, etc., I quite often run into people that I know from meetings. A very natural overlap of the population subsets. But, at all of the Tea Party meetings and functions that I have attended this year (some quite large), I have not seen 1 person from any AA meeting, not even 1! I thought that was very revealing...
