This is an automated list but, the message will be forwarded to a person who will approve your request. They do it this way because they consider it a *closed* meeting. Alcoholics only. It is a good group. A topic gets posted Sunday or Monday and you get to comment and read others comments all through E-Mail. Let me know how you make out.

I love to talk although when talking in this area I like the talking to be in the form of me sharing my "E"xperience on the particular subject. ;-) I have lots of experience in staying sober ODAAT, more often the not, based on MY using the slogans and "pearls of wisdom" that I heard uttered by others who shared at meetings ....... You know I have NEVER, in my years in AA, known anyone to get drunk if they didn't pickup that FIRST one ODAAT. I still hear the echoing of "don't pickup the 1st one, go to meetings AND ALL the rest will follow." Of course the "ALL rest etc" was the steps, the giving it away to keep it, the hand of AA being there, the getting on with life, the gradual realization of the return of sanity and the discovery that the things mentioned around page 84 in the BB had actually come to pass .... Gee, what more could I want? Well, probably nothing, however there isn't the time nor the space for me to begin to tell you how life is greater with each passing moment. ...
