Wed Night AA Riverside Men's Group

Good evening Folks, My apologies for sending this out late, I've been traveling back and forth out of San Jose and it just kinda throws me off a bit! In any case, HAVE NO FEAR because tomorrow is a SPEAKER MEETING which means... no reading!! Feels a bit like a free day to me! Looking forward to having our first speaker meeting here. I always enjoy getting to know someone's inner most grime, like they say birds of a feather flock together! See you all tomorrow! David

Okay... so today is the kind of day I say  Better late than Never  in regards to sending this e-mail!! The good news for me is that if you were waiting on the arrival of this reminder to decide whether or not to make it... you probably weren't going to make it anyway!! This week we will be discussing TRADITION SEVEN from the Twelve & Twelve pgs 160-165. Seems like some people are getting a bit bored of the traditions (except for Todd, he seems to love them!!). However, they are undeniably an important part of AA. It seems to me that if we like what AA as a whole has given us, it should matter to us how to keep AA healthy for the newcomer and for our own continued sobriety. PLUS.... There's only 6 more left so suck it up!! Best regards, David t

Hello Folks, Looking forward to this week's Wednesday night meeting. This week we will be discussing TRADITION SIX. Regards, David t

Hello everyone, We've been having a good steady turn out at the meetings and the discussions have been excellent as always. This week we are going over TRADITION FIVE, pgs.150-154. (super long chapter). Its a shame La SELE lost. However, even in their defeat they brought honor to this tiny country of 4.8 million people. Step 10 pg93: "Even when we have tried hard and failed, we may chalk that up as one of the greatest credits of all." Progress, not perfection... Look forward to seeing everyone!       Best Regards, David t.

Good evening, Quick thanks to all those who showed up at the first meeting here, it was an excellent meeting and a great start!! Glad everyone found the place OK and we had an excellent discussion on the Third Tradition. This week's reading is the  Fourth Tradition, pgs.146-149. We're fortunate that "LA SELE" doesn't play during the week, so no excuses!! This whole World Cup just goes to show that sometimes GOD has greater plans for you than you could possibly imagine.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!!       Best Regards, David 

Hello everyone, We will finally be restarting  the Wednesday night meeting of the Big Book Study Group. I am eager to see everyone and keep the Wednesday night meeting going! Hopefully, there won't be too many kinks to work out but this is our first time meeting here, so who knows... If you need directions there is a map below or just give me a call. Remember the new meeting time is 7:30pm. Although tomorrow is the last Wednesday of the week, given we've been away for a couple of weeks, we'll be retaking the traditions where we left off. This week's reading will be  Tradition Three pgs 139-145 . Below you can find the usual law & order of the meeting and the re-set schedule which we'll follow from here on out. I feel like there are a lot more people who come to the meeting (off & on) than are on my e-mail list. If you could, please just help spread the word. In any case, I'm extremely gratified for having this honor and sincerely hope we can ke...

Hello everyone, It appears I will be the new host for the Wednesday night meeting!! I am both honored and happy to have this opportunity to provide service to the fellowship and give back what was freely given to me. There may be some minor changes but I expect the format and, above all, the character of the meeting to remain business as usual (although there is hardly anything usual about these meetings!). Because of the short notice, I've still got some arrangements to make with the condo people & I've got to get together the meeting materials (Greg??), we WILL NOT START MEETING THIS WEEK. The meetings will re-start NEXT WEEK JUNE 25th. Our usual MO is to have speaker meetings on the last Wednesday of the month but since we've skipped a couple I think we'll resume our reading of the traditions (Tradition 3 is next I believe), I'll send a separate e-mail next week to remind everyone.     Regards, David t.
