Summary

This quote is highlighting the minimal mention of meetings in the A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous) big book and another book. The mention of meetings is only briefly discussed or given little importance in these texts. It implies that while meetings may have gained significance in the recovery community, the original writings on alcoholism and recovery do not put a great emphasis on them. The quote suggests that there might be alternative approaches or perspectives on recovery that are not solely reliant on meetings as a means of support and healing.
