The e-AA Group

it reads to me that the motive is in the right place. it reads like its gotten from your head to your heart that this is a life or death matter and youre willing to do the work. imo, a sponsor should listen to a sponsee when they mention something like this. its saying they want to grow and learn mo...

congrats!
ya never have to do them first 35 years again!

my power greater than me doesnt want me to be kindly and tolerant of pedophiles,rapists, or animal abusers.

this is one step that not enough is written of in the bb- Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our...

glad youre able to make it back when so many arent. one thing i learned a couple years in: MY program is designed to lead me to a drink. i came extremely close.

if allagations arent true then whats the problem? theyre just allagations.

whats the right thing to do- he told you with," he is taking some time out & suggested to me that I should look for another Sponsor."

these are situations that the steps are for.
start at step one on just this.

take 2 words in the first sentence of how it works and its another true sentence:
thoroughly have we seen a person fail who has rarely followed our path.

step 10 is simple for me:
check my motives for actions and words before speaking or acting.

i didnt know meeting were getting into the motel business now.
i wouldnt have any part of a meeting that did that.

It may be a lifetime program for living, but it certainly is not a constant battle like the word recovering implies, therefore saying recovered would be far more encouraging to newcomers. good point there. i wonder how many newcomers get apprehensive from hearing "recovering" from someone with mult...
