Last summer I went to a meeting in Pismo where two old timers got into a fist fight at the end of the meeting....yeah, a program of attraction? What newcomer would want that! They ask me frequently to speak at meetings which I do, but I tend to just be quiet, and not attend very many meetings. If they want what I have they can ask me and I will engage in private conversation. Personally I think that everyone needs to go back to the Big Book of AA and see how Dr. Bob and Bill W. ran their program....they went out to hospitals etc. and sat with wet ones. They didn't wait until someone walked into the room. Oh, I could go on forever. Lots of resentments...with my Creator's grace I have not had to go back out!<br />Thanks for writing, and listening.<br />STephaniestephanie sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871660602226842021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026171904413475346.post-37527311464584824572010-11-07T20:29:54.587-08:002010-11-07T20:29:54.587-08:00It is a breath of fresh air Stephanie, to hear som...It is a breath of fresh air Stephanie, to hear someone actually say what you said here....I am glad that you saw fit to take the time and comment on this subject....BobbyBobby Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527521612297449370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026171904413475346.post-84352773323933797312010-11-07T19:30:16.196-08:002010-11-07T19:30:16.196-08:00Thanks Bobby for your honesty.

Most of them forget how to work a Program as soon as their feet hit the door. They share spouses like underwear, or loose all their money at the casino. Now I know what Bruce meant when he used to tell me how he felt about people. I still want to be a role model for those who are coming in, the newcomers, but not at my expense. The road is getting narrower and narrower.stephanie sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871660602226842021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026171904413475346.post-44809282731934498072010-03-02T00:18:55.976-08:002010-03-02T00:18:55.976-08:00Bravo!

It's just so ironically hypocritical. The remarkable thing is that you actually had moved yourself to a point so far beyond those who found you too bitter or too Godless. You had found it in yourself—not in God...not in platitudes or hypocritical slogans...not in a program...but you found it in yourself to not succumb under circumstances that might very well have made a teetotaler want to find a way to simply drown the sorrow or end the misery. You found the strength and faith in yourself. <br />What an amazing accomplishment.<br />TimTim McMullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840770464754311701noreply@blogger.com
