The security of the Fellowship

[Justme57]

Hi all !

Since I have been on vacation, I have had the opportunity to attend meetings I have never been to before .

On Thursday last , I travelled alone,by train, 1 hour each way. to a meeting in an area I had never visited before . Now this is something I could not even have contemplated doing a couple of months ago!

It was a beautiful day, and as I was sitting in the train, I thought how Blessed I am to have the Unity and Fellowship of AA. I was going to a place I had never been, to meet people I had never met , yet , I felt assured of a friendly handshake , and a welcoming smile , such is the consistency of the Fellowship and the Programme .

It was just as I imagined , I made new friends , who understood me instantly, got 2 new phone numbers, and had coffee afterwards with a new friend !

All in alll, a very productive , and therepeutic day lol I came home feeling very content !

Thanks for letting me share

Our Spiritual community is indeed worldwide isn't it Lee? No matter what city, we can always find the comfort of a room. To be able to sit and listen, or share if we choose to do so. Yes my dear friend, there is security in our fellowship.
Love to you Lee,
Dan

Lovely Lee! Your so right, one of my goals is to travel to various meetings. I love my fellowhship here, but want to experiance what you have. I'm looking forward to it this summer where I plan to do what you did, take the time to reflect and just be on the way to a new meeting.

I remember the first time I went to visit my parents who live in central Florida. I think I was more excited to be able to go to meetings there than I was to see my parents. I love that I can go to AA meetings out of town. They do it a little differently than what I'm used to, but I enjoyed it!

Lee, that is so awesome. I thought about you tonight at our meeting. We had a out of town guest from Mexico, he told us about all the meetings he attends all over the world. This is such a awesome fellowship. Enjoy your vacation Lee. Love you.
