Question AA Newcomer Video

In my e mail this morning....

http://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org....r/videoh.shtml

I am considering adding it to our "Curious" sticky.
What do y'all think?

Wow. That took me back to places I don't want to go to again in real life. Weird, I almost felt a sense of relief when the door opened on to the meeting.

I'd put a link to this video in the stickies if it were my decision.

Carol,
Yes, I think you should make it a sticky.
When the woman in the robe stated she would "start tomorrow" I cried before she did. Haven't we all said that before..many many times before.
Thanks for sharing

Read the notice at the end of the video.

I grew up in England, the alcohol problem there seemed a lot worse than this vid says.

Theres also some good vids on Youtube.

Thanks for adding that as a Sticky, Carol!

Man, I got pretty choked up when the meeting started.
