Having problems with message search?
Mack,
You may also want to try this group: BBS_Open_Discussion@yahoogroups.com
It is kind of a "sister group " to this one. It is a Big Book Study Group. Everyone who uses that group, is usually connected to this group too. Sometimes when discusions get off of topic there, the people are diverted by Jim or Karin, the moderators, to this group where they can discuss it further.
At least that is how it used to be. I haven't participated in the study groups for quite some time now. I am usually busy posting and moderating for my home-town e-group. I miss it. There are some great people here. Many with Lonnnng term sobriety, and I'm glad that you will be here too.
W/ Gratitude,
Tammy C. Indiana

Thanks for allowing me to enter this group discussion on "recovered" alcoholics. Over the years in my sobriety I've always marveled at the spirited discussion at meetings when this word comes up.
I sobered up on 22 July 1979 in a treatment center in my home town and have remained sober in AA since then. Over the years I've been active in service work in AA related activities and I've served on boards of clubs dedicated to hosting AA meetings. I currently serve on the board of directors of a public facility for detoxing alcoholics.
Even today I attend 4 meetings a week, still sponsor half a dozen men who are active in the program and am available for anybody struggling in their early days of trying to sober up.
I've swung between regarding myself as "recovering" or "recovered", so this forum seemed attractive to me. I am looking forward to being a part of this group.
Thanks,
mack
