The e-AA Group

Let us see what the long form of the 11th and 12th Traditions can give us in understanding Anonymity and the Principles we ought live by. 11. -- Our relations with the general public should be characterized by personal anonymity. We think A. A. ought to avoid sensational advertising. Our names and ...

I worked 3 Jobs, Took up Smoking (smoking was allowed in the rooms back then) Coffee and Candy Fetishes.

I had to stay out of my Head for awhile to get "It".

You'll be fine Evan. Just hang in there!

We have what is called "Commitment Group" which goes through the first 164 pages of the BB as a Group. As fast as the slowest member. Each Member has to Commit to each Step's completion before carrying on to the next Step. Each Member Commits to Attend (barring Calamity) to every Meeting. They start...

This time back (I was sober and in the Program Many Years and forgot Who I was) I found the 3rd Step (with a Member's help) fairly quickly. The 3rd Step being, that "All of my Yesterdays, have just brought me to Here, Today." Even though My second "Bottom" was much deeper Jobless, nearly Family and ...

Ju Jubes, Jelly Beans, Toffee, Anything Sweet.

1 Day, Hour or Minute at a time.

You can take the Steps anyway you want. But chances are if you go from the 2nd Step to the 12th Step, you will rip the crotch out of your pants.

I was trying to write my 4th Step, when I actually "Got" the 2nd Step. 1 Day at a Time, 1 Step at a Time.

Great to hear that you are going to a F2F Meeting. You have already made the Hardest Step.

Great to Hear.

And it will keep on getting better.

Every Yesterday, has just brought Us to Today. Today is the Only Necessary Day to be concerned with. Someone/Something else already has tomorrow Planned out, if We don't mess Today up too much. And Ask for it, Ask for Today's gift, and how to correct Our wrongs of yesterday. Blake,(if you are still ...

It is "Came to believe a Power Greater than Ourselves could Restore Us to Sanity"

Not "A God" or even a "God or Our understanding" to begin.

More will come.

"I Can't"

"AA Can"

"I Can have AA's Way, if I let go and live it"

Do you wonder whether you "need help" or you "want help"? This. I walked through the doors (Licked) at 21 years old. 2nd DUI, etc, etc. I found AA practiced the Program for 12 Great Years, then it got so Good, 5 years of "Being Dry" I forgot where I came from. Then 10 years of "Literal Hell the res...

I have walked 5 miles in -40 degrees temps for a drunk, drove 12 miles across a frozen lake with 12"s of water on top, in a car that well, was a junker and pulled off the roads, to finish a Drunk. I should be able to go to Any Lengths for Sobriety. Specially when Something is Guiding me. This doesn'...

Despite all we can say, many who are real alcoholics are not going to believe they are in that class. By every form of self-deception and experimentation, they will try to prove themselves exceptions to the rule, therefore nonalcoholic. If anyone who is showing inability to control his drinking can...

Welcome Back! BTW. Does your New Sponsor have what you want? A Serenity, Sobriety, Character, heck even a sense of Humor? Then ask how she got it. As far as Excuses like "I work tomorrow" That's when "I" need a Meeting the Most. Good Luck on your Journey. Great Question BTW. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple...

I accidentally bumped into his brother some time ago, and it was very difficult.

After the 3rd Step Nothing is by "Accident"

We may not know "The Why" at the time. But there is a Reason. Again Page 83-86 Nightly, 86-88 Morning Meditation helped my Amends.

Even the ones "I" was deathly afraid of.
