Mainly, I did not understand why it was unlisted until I attended last night. The group is a Closed AA meeting. It has been around … Continue reading I Found An Interesting AA Group

Quote Which Describes The Fellowship Now
"Have you ever wondered how criminals who know they can't trust one another are still able to conduct business?" "They replace trust with fear and the threat of violence." I would say this is how the powder keg of the fellowship is right now. I found out today that a guy I know who goes … Continue reading Quote Which Describes The Fellowship Now

What IS A Conception?
