Have you heard about Bill Wilson's Swedish Ivy plant? You can read about it here. My partner got a clipping from someone at a meeting a few months ago and it was almost dead.

I Found An AA Group!
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
