After several years of service to this group, I have decided it best to resign as moderator. Please take your concerns and "what-nots" to Karen and Jim only...

Thank you Danny for your service. I hope to see you at the other groups. Best wishes for the future. God bless Dave ... -- For great tones, games and other...
I agree with Karen, if I do the 10th step inventory and try to live along spiritual lines then I don't need to repeat the the 4th and 5th Steps. But I didn't...
I am in the process of reading all the stories in the newest edition of our basic text, and I came across a rather good one. Written by someone who came into...
Bob, I'm sure you'll get a large response to the .5th step question. I can only relate my ESH. Like you, I moved a lot the first 6 years of sobriety. It's...
thnk you for your service danny-i know we've butted heads a few times. but i want you to know that i respect the way you conduct yourself-i hope this doesnt...
When I did my step 5 I was nervous and frightened of sharing the intimate details of my life with someone who I hardly knew and had only known for a short...
Dave, I can definitely identify with that sense of calm. It was strange and wonderful..it still is for that matter. I can remember the night that I took my...
We have been speaking to you of serious, sometimes tragic things. We have been dealing with alcohol in it's worst aspect. But we aren't a glum lot. If...
Bye Danny, sorry we didn't see eye to eye on everything, but I am sure we both love AA, each in our own way. I hope you come back to share with us as a member....
Without a doubt Jim. Without a doubt. As I have said on more than one occasion: I have enjoyed your posts and I think ALL of them and your experience in the...
Hey Danny, I'm not happy about you resigning and nor is the other Des, you know, that thing inside me that wants to drink ? Lost a moderator with a sense of...
Wow, the same priest, there's a wonderful synchronicity to this program. Thanks Jocelyn. Dave ... -- For great tones, games and other mobile content visit...
Tell the other Des to go piss off! LOL Not everyone likes my sense of humor Des, I assure you. But very many more do than do not, here - and offline as well....
One more thing about people who don't like what we say in AA: I was asked to speak before a large group a few weeks ago - afterwards my good friend Cliff...
Yes Dan: It's not what you are saying, it is how you are saying it. Even though I pretend not know what you mean by" watered down AA." I do know what you are...
A huge thanks to Karen for posting yesterday while I attended Ozzie L.'s funeral in East Dorset, VT. He was buried in the same small village grave yard where...
If given a choice, I would much rather hear a truth from someone who cuts right to chase than an untruth over the tongues of those whose mouth could melt no...
Danny, I hope that maybe you can still share with us from time to time. I would sure miss your posts, if you didn't pop in every now and then. Thanks for all...
Thank you Tammy. You will not miss my posts becasue I wo'nt leave unless banned - I might miss YOUR posts - and I would'nt dream of it. peace, Danny S ... ...
The foundation of willingness and the Stones (keystone & cornerstone) and cement of the foundation were great metaphoric references to the Steps taken. I could...
Thanks Jim. These Steps are so simple, aren't they? Can you image telling someone that "This isn't a race" or "There's no timetable in the Big Book". Those are...
I have been looking for an "ARCH" drawing that clearly shows the cornerstone, the keystone and the foundation in an architects style diagram, to use in my...
