Good evening my good people (and fellow alcoholics too), This week we will be discussing Chapter 7 - Working with Others. One of the most gratifying things this program offers is the chance to work with other alcoholics and witness the process in others. Its can also be, oddly enough, one of the more terrifying parts. I was told you have to give it away if you want to keep it though and the rewards have been many. The sponsor - sponsee relationship is one of the core ingredients in recovery. The beauty is that sponsoring others is just as beneficial, if not more than, being sponsored. If you've gone through the steps and have a year or more of sobriety, sponsoring is the next rung on that ladder. If you haven't got there yet, you can pray for the willingness & the opportunity to do so. 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> 0...
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.
