Id be happy to come join ur home group TinLizzy..
Never been to California before.... Im sure it is an
awesome place to visit. : )
Well....i brought a red glass platter filled with fresh
baked cinnamon rolls and chocolate wafers.
Just about all of it was gone....I left about 5 small
mini bites on the table for who ever wanted them.
The meeting was good as always....I so enjoy
seeing the many familiar faces i got to know when i joined
AA 16 yrs ago.....Its comforting to see them still
hanging in there....
The meeting was about what to do after u take
ur 5th step....
Eventually taking the 6th and 7th....
I first thought that Steps Six and Seven
were about miracles. Like somehow if I
was ready and willing enough, God would
simply remove my liabilities. But it's really
about me becoming willing to do the legwork
it takes to follow His will for me. The wisdom
and guidance is there, but it's up to me to
take the responsibility to put it into practice
and use it. I have to walk the walk.
The 7th Step Prayer
"My creator, I am now willing that you
should have all of me, good and bad.
I pray that you now remove from me
every single defect of character which
stands in the way of my usefulness to
you and my fellows. Grant me strength,
as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen."

After the meeting, one of my lady
friends and I got a bite to eat and
then i showed her where i was living.
She was one whom i paled around
with in early sobriety before i left
for Houston....She has awesome
sobriety...like 25 yrs and has been
a plus in my own recovery.
Its so nice to have someone to
talk recovery with and understand
it.
AMEN.
