The e-AA Group

Unread postby Brock » Mon Sep 25, 2017 4:00 pm i was once told, an aa member without a sponsor is like a ship without a rudder it will head off in all and any direction I agree with this for certain members, and all members can benefit from sponsors before the spirituality kicks in. But I believe it...

The question was not whether you should talk about the god of your understanding at meetings. The question was should we be saying a christian prayer hben aa says that they are not allied with any sect or denomination. Anyway, I do appreciate all your responses. I'm sure this will come up from time...

i was once told, an aa member without a sponsor is like a ship without a rudder it will head off in all and any direction i have a fellowship of sponsors as well as my own sponsor every time i go to an aa room i am surrounded by sponsors who share there own experience strength and hope with me. just...

your sponsor sounds like my sponsor soberguy =biggrin i well remember moaning to my sponsor about a guy in the meeting who had been sober 30 odd years who did the main share in the meeting that night and never mentioned once the steps the program or anything that i would expect and i moaned the guy ...

how about making a simple recording for yourself of your step 4 ? instead of writing things down use a voice recorder ?

online aa can be a great aid for anyone in recovery and a first port of call for those whos drinking is starting to cause them a problem the problem is that for me it took me a long time to find balance in my life, and in my early years i was always wanting to do everything to extremes computers and...

each aa room or meeting, is its own version of aa there are no rules in aa so each group can run there meeting however they like, it took me a long time to understand that aa is what we want it to be as there are no bosses etc i wanted every aa meeting to be the same as the meetings i like to go to ...

DESYPETE: Thank you. I hope your sponsor/friend is recovering well and continues to be a "stinker!!" =biggrin your welcome he is out of hospital now and back around the rooms doing what he does best helping others although i am sure the hospital is glad to see the back of him and his bowel movement...

Seriously people have you looked back on your responses. Reread what you have said. By beginning your lengthy explanations with 'this is only my opinion' then launching in to your garble gunk of thinking you have the truth only proves that you have no clue. Why can't members just say 'I don't know'...

i did my first step the day i shown up at aa i didnt know it as the time but i came seeking help, in other words i knew i couldn't do it anymore on my own. my life was a mess and i was beaten enough to finally give in i came to aa as it was a power greater than me that might be able to help me but a...

the official position of aa over drugs is there is no position as aa is not at all connected with drugs there is another fellowship that deals with drugs and is for those who have drug issues aa is a self help organisation that deals with alcoholics and alcoholism, its for alcoholics run by alcoholi...

one of the things i have noticed about me these days compared to my early few years, is just how simple i try to keep things in my life the more simple i keep things the more peace i enjoy if there is a problem comes along i have to decide is there some way i can do something about the problem ? if ...

i dont know where i would be without my sponsor and those in aa who had the cheek to point out to me when i was being a big head or a know all or the hundred and 1 other forms of deception my head can run away with it was my first time to reliaze that maybe there might be something wrong with my thi...

I have also enjoyed reading Timothy's post a few times since he put it up, the last line leaves me smiling. “It's such an irritatingly simple way of living that now I have learnt it within AA I wonder how I missed it so completely before!” Smiling because I have learned the same thing, but a little...

when i was first around my mood swings were huge, in the meetings and after a meeting i would be happy full of promise and wanting to change everything in a matter of mins but by the time i got back to my flat and my head had talked me out of making a start on any of the changes i had planed i would...
