is an AA Charlatan... It's none of my business, it drives me crazy, I 10th step a lot about it, and I am waiting to see what God does about it... There are 4 types of people in AA.

An AA Group…I Miss You
My group died in 2018 or so. I really miss it. It died because we had a Bleeding Deacon. One bad apple can ruin the whole barrel.

The Traditions In Relationships

How To Share On The Traditions In A Meeting
God told me to memorize something to say at a meeting on Traditions. It is so rare that I am called on to speak about Traditions that I am not ever ready to talk about them, so when I do, I don't say anything that gets people to think differently about the Traditions. God suggested … Continue reading How To Share On The Traditions In A Meeting
