Tradition FIVE pgs.150-154

Hello everyone,

We've been having a good steady turn out at the meetings and the discussions have been excellent as always. This week we are going over TRADITION FIVE, pgs.150-154. (super long chapter).

Its a shame La SELE lost. However, even in their defeat they brought honor to this tiny country of 4.8 million people. Step 10 pg93: "Even when we have tried hard and failed, we may chalk that up as one of the greatest credits of all." Progress, not perfection...

Look forward to seeing everyone!

Best Regards,

David t.

A Drunk, Like You p398-406

Hi everyone, My apologies on sending this out late this week, I've been battling a little bit of a cold lately. Anywho, I'd like to thank Dave W. for sharing his excellent story with us last week, nothing helps recovery along like a heavy dose of humor & depravity and Jesus Dave delivered in spades!! Also I'd like to remind everyone of the upcoming AA convention in Manuel Antonio that's taking place from May 6-8th. We're still working on the details of organizing our group to get out there but let me know if your interested and go online to register now - It's FREE!! (to register anyways, you pay later!!) This week we'll be reading A Drunk, like You p398-406 . This was the first time for me reading it and I got a lot out of it. Aside from the fact that I always love listening to another Member of the Tribe breaking barriers by showing that alcoholism is no respecter of race, religion or creed, proving you jew *i mean too* ...

Gutter Bravado p501-511

Good evening Folks, This week we will be reading & discussing Gutter Bravado p501-511. One of the great joys of my life is hosting this Wednesday night meeting of which I've had the privileged to serve for some time now. So it gives me a great sense of satisfaction whenever I hear someone, especially a new comer, say that there is something special about our meeting. To me it means that the same something-ness with which I fell in love with is still there. Last week, Fred brought up an article originally written in the July 1976 issue of "24 Magazine". In the article, the unknown author compares the quality of someone's AA program to Strong/Medium/Week Coffee. See the article here: http://www. barefootsworld.net/ aagreshamslaw.html It's a bit long but well worth the read (kind of like my e-mails!! lol). Basically it describes how the rapid growth of AA in the early 40's created a situation in which y...

The Perpetual Quest p388-397

Good evening everyone, Before I get to the weekly reminder, I wanted to inform everyone, if you didn't know already, that this years Manual Antonio AA International Convention is coming up. The convention will be May 6, 7 & 8th (Fri thru Sunday). I think it would be awesome if we could get a group of the wednesday night men's group to go. I even got a hall pass from my significant other already!! You can check out the convention and register online here . There are no upfront fees, you pay when you show up. You do need to reserve a hotel room ahead of time and I'd like to get a head count so maybe we can split some rooms between us. Go ahead and take a look at the website and we can discuss everything at the end of the meeting this week. This wednesday night we will be going over The Perpetual Quest p388-397. I thought this was a very interesting story, brought me back to a time early in recovery when things seemed more complicated and yet simpl...
