On Wednesdays at noon, they meet in a church, about 40 min from my home-office. They are all old-timers with a few newbies, and their only tradition-violation is that the church requires you to sign in on an Ipad - so I signed in "Marty M." That will be my weekly humor - what my … Continue reading I Found An AA Group!

Meetings Are Just A Small Part of The Fellowship
I went back to the group after being away for a month - and I attended the 730am meeting. Fewer people know me there so I had a chance of being Anonymous after the Group Conscience debacle of a month ago. I came with the attitude that although it says it's a "closed meeting" - … Continue reading Meetings Are Just A Small Part of The Fellowship
I Stand at the Door
By Sam Shoemaker (from the Oxford Group) (The reason I am posting this today is several. First, I stand by the door means that I am going to continue to say "I am an alcoholic" even if it means that I am perpetuating my disease, as the New Agers want me to believe, because I … Continue reading I Stand at the Door
Meeting Makers Go Insane…Why?
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
Get On Your Knees & Ask God To Remove The Obsession
God told me to go late to a meeting the other day. I was annoyed. The addict-alcoholics were jibber jabbering about something unknown to me yadda yadda - why am I here God? I asked. How can I leave without making it too obvious since I just got here? There's no way out. The last … Continue reading Get On Your Knees & Ask God To Remove The Obsession
Week 10: Big Book Workshop
We are in There is A Solution. Last week we went into detail of examples of drinking against our will... Here's an exercise for you, which will synopsize what happened in Week 9 - come up with 3 examples of when you intended not to drink at all and ended up drunk, overshooting the mark … Continue reading Week 10: Big Book Workshop
Week 7: Big Book Workshop
We are on p. 21 of the First Edition which is in There Is A Solution. Today we had a homeless kid show up at our group. Someone probably told him that there would be food - I don't know how he found our workshop - but he acted like he had been "trying to … Continue reading Week 7: Big Book Workshop
An Addendum To Last Week’s Post
I made a document for the group. I decided that the group is not ready to really see how the Traditions are laid out because it will take away from the simple experience of going through the book itself, but I made a document for them to study on their own and I am going … Continue reading An Addendum To Last Week’s Post
