Today, Debbie derailed the meeting for 45 minutes by questioning whether "there really is an 11th step in NA" and demanding everyone pull out their books to verify. When shown the 11th step, she then proceeded to share her "unique interpretation" of it for another 20 minutes.
Have you ever sat through a 12-step meeting where someone named Debbie monopolizes the entire share time? Where a 60-minute meeting becomes 90 minutes because Debbie has "just one more thing" to add? You're not alone. This coalition is dedicated to reclaiming our meeting time and supporting those affected by chronic over-sharing.
Disclaimer: This site is entirely satirical and not directed at any specific real person named Debbie. If your name is Debbie and you respect the meeting timer, we salute you! You're the exception that proves the rule.
Founded in the aftermath of the Great Debbie Monologue of 2023 (a three-hour share about her cat's dietary preferences), our group has grown from a small support group to an international movement with thousands of recovery meeting attendees who have all had enough of Debbie's time-consuming shares.
Our mission is simple: preserve meeting time, support the traumatized, and develop healthy coping mechanisms for when Debbie inevitably says, "I'll keep it brief, but..."
Check today's Meeting Runtime Prediction:
Today's Meeting Prediction: CRITICAL - Debbie just discovered the literature has "conflicting information" about the 11th step and wants to "help clarify" during tonight's step study. Expected meeting length: 3+ hours. Bring dinner and a sleeping bag.
Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over Debbie's shares—that our meetings had become unmanageable.
Step 11: We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our Higher Power, despite Debbie questioning whether this step actually exists.
Join us for a special workshop on setting healthy boundaries, assertive timekeeper training, and emergency meeting evacuation strategies.
