Hello folks,
This weekend was amazing, the men's retreat out in San Juan del Sur was excellent. Eight of us from San Jose got out there and shared a truly unique experience with something like 50 sober members of Alcoholics Anonymous.
One of the coolest things I heard out there was "if you put me on an island with nothing but a Big Book, my Higher Power and a case of Scotch.... I don't like my chances." Indeed, the fellowship is an essential part of this program. As long as its "Me & I" instead of "Us & we", my chances are less than average. But with the fellowship, the program & a higher power it never fails.
