A gal with 15 days (who has had periods of sobriety in the past) told me that she would rather stay sober than worry about some virus. No shit!!! And that is exactly what I shared with you all the other day: p. 102 “Your job now is to be at the place where you … Continue reading A Newcomer Told Me…

Wake Up AA!!!
If Dispensary's and Liquor Stores are exempt, then AA MEETINGS ARE ALSO ESSENTIAL!!! By the way, I have lost one of my friends over this already because I don't want to go on zoom she says I am too negative and can't be my friend... on text. These are crazy times.
I Am Bodily And Mentally Different From My Fellows…
Therefore, just because the Mayor locked down our city, that does not apply to me. Hey - I just heard it does not apply to electricians either... probably because they are installing 5G all over our city while we are locked down.

The AA bilaws say that we will do nothing … Continue reading Daily Reflections March 21, 2020
Either The Big Book Is True or It is Not, God Either Is…
or He Isn't - what is your choice to be? "Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful. You should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errand. … Continue reading Either The Big Book Is True or It is Not, God Either Is…
COVID-19 and AA
an outside issue... All the churches are closed in my city. What does that say about churches? Well this should be a slap on the wrist for AAers. Back when, AA groups rented store fronts for AA meetings so that we could be in control of our groups - but then we started getting cheap … Continue reading COVID-19 and AA
