First Time I've Encountered the "Set Aside Prayer" Steve. Certainly interesting. No Problem at all with advocacy of open mindedness. One of my personal "Hot...
I must jump in. LOL Dean, I think I missed a perspective of yours early on when we first tarried. I agree with you from your AND my perspective which you...
Using the columns, left to right, is much easier than the illustration that appears in the Big Book, which seems to confuse everyone. However, in the inventory...
Then there is this... Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now. That word general is important....
This is interesting. For me there are times when I need to share my ESH, like when hearing a 5th step or talking to a down and out drunk trying to give him/her...
Like one of my Texican buddies likes to point out "The Big Book says I'm not going to remember my own scary stories, let alone yours" , his paraphrasing well...
Somewhere we got the misconception that 12 stepping, that carrying the message, has something to do with sharing at meetings, that "telling our story" means in...
No Cherie the BIG BOOK says you won't remember it in the quote I posted. It doesnt say you won't rememebr it speaking in AA meetings ... s, it says not...
We Are On The Same Page Danny. Thanks also for further clarifying your position on the Subject for me. When I "start Seeing Red", my perspective, patience,...

When it comes right down to it, Danny, the Big Book does not spend a lot of time on the "how" and "why" of meetings, per se. Probably because-at the time the...

Good Morning, everyone! [Our own Karen, aka honey_dot_com, posted while I took a day off from work, finally! My THANKS! to her.] We are at page 72 - Chapter 6...
What I've found about reading my inventory out loud is that even though I saw my defects of character when I was writing my inventory, to verbalize them to...
Sorry Chris. I though it was Cherrie. We do not do name calling in this group. It happens occasionally, but not lately. So when anyone, whether it be me or...
Even though I can say that I have "taken" step one, it is important for me to bear in mind what it means when I say I was powerless over alcohol. Chris if you...
The simple truth of the matter which i have found to hold validity is that I will always be powerless over alcohol but "WE" have power over choice of drink...
Hi Ralph, The Big Book does address exactly what you are talking about. Make of it what you will: "The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure,...
I have gratitude today for having a loving God in my life that has opened my eyes to see that being powerless over alcohol was a long but temporary condition....
Bill, You make an excellent point. My recent personal experience is seeing the resurgance of smaller more specialized meetings cropping up. BB studies, 12&12 ...
Hi Jocelyn, That has been my experience this year. Smaller, indepth BB study groups. We have had a few this year in members houses, but due to the demand the...
Hello all... this is my experience too...many times i will attend our "regular" 12 and 12 or BB meetings and they just turn into the wanderings of some of our...
