Because it's BB. What's BB? We don't know, but it's not AA. I talked to my sponsor today about how much better I feel not attending those silly-ass meetings that call themselves AA, but when push comes to shove and you actually make them get out their traditions, you discover - hey it's NOT AA … Continue reading Meeting Makers Go Insane…Why?
Resurrection…
Do yourself a favor today, and read page 276 of AA Comes of Age, and pray to God that one day we can have this back. Or you can re-read this post I made from December of 2019. Bernard Smiths Talk, AA Comes Of Age, P. 276
Step 10-11-12 Meeting – Still Not AA
I have not gone to normal AA meeting since March 20 - because I have to find another place to go - or change my schedule and go to the 7:30 am meeting at the old group. I went to the evening meeting and there were more addicts there than at any other group - … Continue reading Step 10-11-12 Meeting – Still Not AA
addictAlcoholics Anonymous
There needs to be a new fellowship created. I reflect that while I was in that farce of a group conscience last Saturday, I overheard addict Alcoholics making affirmative sounds of identification when they stated that although they are addictAlcoholics, they only feel safe in AA, because in NA and CA they feel like using. … Continue reading addictAlcoholics Anonymous
Once You Let Go Of Your Values It Can Be Impossible To Get Them Back.
My boyfriend says this to me all the time. I experienced this today. The fight which started on January 26th when the addictAlcoholics took over our "closed AA Meeting" ended today in the "group conscience". It was an uninformed group conscience that's for sure- certainly not informed by the 12 traditions. We gave those up … Continue reading Once You Let Go Of Your Values It Can Be Impossible To Get Them Back.
Week 19: Big Book Workshop: Conduct Inventory
"We reviewed our own conduct over the years past. Where had we been selfish, dishonest, or inconsiderate? Whom had we hurt? Did we unjustifiably arouse jealousy, suspicion or bitterness?

Sex Conduce Inventory: First, … Continue reading Week 19: Big Book Workshop: Conduct Inventory
How To Write Resentment Inventory
Today, I saw a woman who has 20 years of sobriety from the workshop, who does not know how to write resentment inventory. She had crammed the resentment inventory and the fear inventory together. She had used the 12 x 12 to write inventory. She had made a template that made absolutely no sense.I understand … Continue reading How To Write Resentment Inventory
Week 18: First Edition Big Book Workshop: Fear Inventory
We took the 3rd Step 2 weeks ago, and we did the entire Resentment inventory in one sitting last week. Now there are only 5 of us. Fear Inventory: We reviewed our fears thoroughly. We put them on paper, even though we had no resentment in connection with them. We asked ourselves why we had … Continue reading Week 18: First Edition Big Book Workshop: Fear Inventory
Another Day In The Fight To Get AA Back
Today, my boyfriend, who is 13 years sober, told me his not going back to the group because he is not able to stand the drama. This has to do with what happened yesterday with the Announcements. I was ok with the Announcements: but I can now see that for people where he is at … Continue reading Another Day In The Fight To Get AA Back
Drama Rama
So - wow. The group is going wild, instigated by the Secretary who wrote this and put it in the announcements to be read at every meeting MAYHEM. I heard that this morning's meeting some dude slammed his fist on the desk and said he would kill the next person who introduced themselves as an … Continue reading Drama Rama
