Jim and all, I am 28+ years sober and it HAS worked for 28 and some odd years, so how could I NOT know? And, if I need a refresher, all I need to do is go back...
I kinda knew I was nuts... :) I wonder if I should bring a strainer with me to meetings just to strain out all the bullsh*t! The "IT" is the AA Program of...

Yes your nuts..... I have noticed that some of the people who make that statement are the same people who never wrote inventory, do not meditate, have not made...
A speaker at my group made a comment that just annoyed the crap out of me. Here's a guy sober 28 years and he says "I don't know how AA works, it just does"....
Lost ALLLLLLLL my emails - among them your with your phone number before I put it in my cell phone phone book - could you, would you, send it again, privately?...
Karen, Find something that you have conquered in your AA life that was very difficult and you are proud of. Remember how hard it was to overcome and the steps...
Hi there, Karen! We've butted heads in the past - perhaps we were both sitting in judgement on each other!! =0) But on this - I think I know what you are...
That's pretty much what it loosely means here too - in Salt Lake City. Sometimes, people will comment on what someone said while they are sharing (not...

Hi Bob, I'll have to check out that meeting. Do you ever get to Bridgeville for the Sunday meeting at 3pm? Its a beginners discussion and also a BB Study. Also...
Karen, This out and out sounds like a step 10 problem - Like, lack of use. This is from (oh help me get my fingers out from around my neck) the 12 & 12. LOL...
Live in the south hills, member of the Castle Shannon sunday night group! Nice to meet you, and I think I've met a few folks from the Parkway west group....
Hi Bob, Jocelyn here also from Western Pa. My home group is Parkway West in Oakdale. Where are you from in W Pa? ... __________________________________ Do you...
I am often very judgmental, which is one of my character defects. (OK, OK, I can hear some of you now… "No SHIT!!" * sigh * C'mon! Gimme a break! Hear me...
Thank you Bob. That was inspirational...clear, non-offensive and direct. That's why this message board is great! Stuff like that! Clarity is sweet! "Bob G."...
In western PA, 'cross-talk' is understood as starting a dialogue with another person while sharing during a discussion meeting. Commenting on someone else's...
I always thought that cross talk meant an open back and forth dialogue. Sometimes it happens by accident. Like when you ask a new-comer a question...."Do you...

One of the things I learned early on was that anything I said in a meeting was fair game. People were going to comment on what I said from time to time and I...
In a 12&12 step meeting I used to go to regularly it was written right into the guidelines before each meeting. It basically said "No cross talking about the...
How do you expect me to share my ES&H if there is no 'cross talk?' To keep the message focused on the truth that is in the book, we have to comment on anothers...
I guess crosstalk means different things in different parts of the country - In Buffalo and Central Virginia it means carrying on a conversation with the one...
Hi Jim, I'm new to the group here. I took you up on your offer on another group and decided to see what things were like on this board. Thank you for the...
I never heard of this as a term until I moved to NYC from eastern Long Island in 1997. I first associated cross talk with talking while someone else was...
Ok I'll bite Jim. Actually what I should do is respond properly to the question I asked previously, in the "hypothetical question"thread. There were several...
