Riverside Men's Group: Gratitude in Action p193-199

Good evening everyone,
This Wednesday night we'll be reading Gratitude in Action  p193-199. I love reading these stories, there always so much meat on the bone; No matter how much you chew 'em there's always something else to digest...
I'd like to take a moment, for those who don't know, to remind everyone that today was the first day of Ann's 3rd trial in Perez Zeledon. I often think so much about how wonderful the meetings were at Greg's place, how that helped kick-start my own recovery and I know that was also true for many others as well. It's easy to overlook the fact that Ann put up with us using her living room for pretty much the whole time!! She even made us food once in a while... she was as good a friend to AA as one could hope for. Her perseverance & tenacity throughout her entire ordeal is admirable.
If you would, please keep the Pattons (Ann & Ken especially) and everyone who supports them in their quest for justice in your thoughts and prayers. I know Greg is with her and with us, in the fellowship of the spirit, watching the universe unfold as it should.     

God bless,
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...
