Live and Let Live basically means Mind Your Own Business, doesn't it? Yes. Well where's the line? My sponsor told me that his sponsor told him that he could swing is arm as far out as he wanted to until it actually connected with another person's face. At that point, his autonomy ended. When I … Continue reading Live and Let Live

The 12 Steps Are Natural Law
I just got a bizarre comment on my post by some loser named "Klaus Schwab" - which is pretty hilarious considering that Klaus Schwab is the current face of the New World Order machine, head of the World Economic Forum. So this idiot wants to tell me that AA was created by a man who … Continue reading The 12 Steps Are Natural Law
The Raffle At the Round-Up
Last weekend I attended a Round-up that is in it's 70th Year. It was GREAT to see a lot of my old cohorts that have been God knows where since AAers started thinking that the flu is worse than alcoholism.

GSO Has Formed A Committee To Re-evaluate The 3rd and The 5th Traditions.
This is the latest I heard from my passed-delegate friend in Minnesota. Remember a few years ago, they changed the Service Manual outside a conference to read that the Traditions and the Steps could be changed by 2/3 of the world wide fellowship PRESENT. That word, "present" was added. What that meant was that if … Continue reading GSO Has Formed A Committee To Re-evaluate The 3rd and The 5th Traditions.
Idiocracy
AA today. And at any time we can start it all over. How? Read AA Comes of Age including the Appendicies. Read a 3rd Edition of the Big Book and do what it says to do. Study the Traditions and learn to apply them as they are written and then apply the Traditions to problems. … Continue reading Idiocracy
The Bum Run – For Thanksgiving and Christmas
Our group went down to the homeless camp in town with a few half gals of Smirnoff and about 10 quarts of Mad Dog 2020 and cups, to give our buddies on the frontlines an "opener". Now remember, these are street hobos - they are going to get an opener somewhere - so we provided … Continue reading The Bum Run – For Thanksgiving and Christmas
Neither Endorsing Or Opposing Causes
I try to practice these principles in all my affairs. Recently I have been singled out for some hate attention and pressure has been put on me to conform to the beliefs of others. I have recovered and I can stand up for what I believe in today. There is a fate worse than death, … Continue reading Neither Endorsing Or Opposing Causes

I Am F***ing Done
I used to be tolerant and seethe quietly to myself when members of AA who are definitely NOT alcoholics of my type made comments on my posts that were not in alignment with my point of view because I felt - Live and let live. But today was the last straw. Now what I have … Continue reading I Am F***ing Done
Back To Basics – 4- 1 Hr Wkshps = 12 Steps In A Month
Part 1: My group is putting this workshop on. I am taking it so that I can't be accused of contempt prior to investigation. Back in 1999 when I had first started the steps, I was living in upstate NY and my sponsor was out in S. California. My sponsor was taking me through the … Continue reading Back To Basics – 4- 1 Hr Wkshps = 12 Steps In A Month
