A few years ago I was involved in starting AA's national convention of young people in my country and by the time it had reached it's fifth year, I thought it had got a bit out of hand with everyones egos clashing, myself included.
At the end of it all, the area who hosted the convention that year suffered the most and the convention didn't nearly happen, and I suspect the convention will never return to that area again. Or if it does it won't be for a long time.
It took me age to 'get over' the resentment I had to some of the people involved in the convention and last I heard the chairman of the convention relapsed.
I'm telling this story because it's easy for me to let go of things to do with AA that I don't think are that important but it is the things that I stamp my feet and yell about that I really need to let go of. It's always the ones that I say 'no I will never let go of this'.
And then we either learn, or we drink. I'm thankful I'm still learning.
