Good evening folks, What's that old saying? Better late than never? I had some excuses prepared but I figure I better save them for when I might need them!! This week, we'll be reading Empty on the Inside p512-521. BTW, someone mentioned to me they weren't finding the stories in the book so please take note that we're on the 4th Edition of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 3rd edition has a different set of stories (some are the same but some aren't). Anyways, I just got done reading this story and I liked it quite a bit. You could say this speaker had one of those Spiritual Awakenings of the "Educational variety". Sometimes I think that phrase might be a euphemism for "they were kind of slow to get it" lol Mind you, between the time I first came to AA and that moment when I had what you might call a spiritual awakening of my own, 5 years had gone by.... Now who is the slow one!!?? It's good to rememb...
This blog is a compilation of commentaries about AA, alcoholism, sobriety and recovery. They were created as part of a weekly email series I send out to the AA Wed Night Riverside Men's Group in Escazú, San José, Costa Rica. We are a Men's Big Book and AA-related literature study group with the aim of expanding our knowledge and understanding of the principles set forth by the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
