Speaker Meeting - Let Go & Let God

Good Evening friends,

My apologies for sending this out so late, it's been a busy week and it's barely Tuesday!

Funny how I use to think "let go and let God" was just a fancy way of saying I had a right to be lazy... I thought it meant I'd just be sitting back and letting the big guy in the sky do everything for me. Today I've got a radically different notion of that phrase. Resistance and defiance to life has melted away, I have ceased fighting everyone and everything so that when life comes my way at 100mph I go with the flow easily instead of hopelessly fighting it in vain. God puts in my life everything I need and I do my best at everything he puts before me. I'm not attached to the outcome however. I have the serenity to accept what I cannot change. I have the courage to change what I can. I have the wisdom to let go and let God.

Tomorrow is a speaker meeting so no reading (woo-hoo!!! )

see you all soon,
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...
