Hi everyone, Just your weekly reminder for this week's reading which is  Chapter 4 pt.II pages 89-102.   I just got done with a 3 hour long dinner and I'm feeling tired, so you get a free pass from my wit and humor this week. I know that's a bit like being sent to bed without supper, but I'm sure you'll manage!!  Best Regards, David t. 2014 Meeting Dates 01/29/14  Speaker Meeting <Shane B> 02/26/14  Speaker Meeting <Fred D> 03/26/14  Speaker Meeting <Pete T> 04/30/14  Speaker Meeting <Clive T> 05/28/14  Speaker Meeting <Todd P> 07/30/14 Speaker Meeting <Dave W> 08/27/14 Speaker Meeting <Edwin H> 09/24/14  Speaker Meeting <Larry H> 10/29/14 Speaker Meeting <David t> 11/26/14 Speaker Meeting <Roy M> -->New Book: Being Sober and Becoming Happy 01/07/15 Chapt 1 pt.I - Staying Sober - p1-20 01/14/15 Chapt 1 p...

Growing up, I was educated in the religion of my ancestors and liked to tell myself that I believed in this God idea. Never would I have categorized myself as "agnostic", much less atheist, so for a long time I thought this chapter didn't apply to me.     Having watched our human resources, as marshaled by the will, fail utterly; we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Except I thought, in my twisted alcoholic mind, that I had already tried faith and found it wanting. If we were to truly ask for his protection ...
