WED Night AA Meeting; Chapter 5 -- How It Works

Hello everyone,

    We had another excellent meeting next week, I feel like we've set the bar real high for this week! We will be delving into Chapter 5 -- How It Works.

    I always hear people make the comment "I haven't a clue HOW the program works" when really I think it would be more accurate to say I haven't a clue WHY it works. There is a whole chapter written on How it Works and you could even go so far as to say ALL of the 164 pages in the front of the Big Book explain how it works... Seems to me HOW it works is covered!! Why it works is another story (maybe... there is a higher power at work?).

     Point of interest, I always kind of thought when doing step work that Chapter 5 was the place to start... but upon closer inspection the chapter only briefly mentions steps 1,2 and 3 and is mostly about step 4!! Hmmm.... maybe that's why there are 4 chapters ahead of it?!?! Who'da Thunk it?!

See everyone soon.

Regards,
David t
