Thanks Rarly...............such memories. We spend all year sharing our experience, strength and hope with each other, and then to come together in person is icing on the cake. This is my "electronic home group."..........you guys are the best.

When I was laid up after my accident, and couldn't make real-time meetings, this was my actual home group. Now that I can get out and about some, y'all are still my "home-away-from-home" group.

Thanks for sharing that with all of us Rarly.

It is pretty cool when you think about it . . . you all from different corners of the map, sharing throughout the year and then getting together . . . in the name of Brotherhood and the Fellowship of AA.

Too Cool.

God Bless & I'll be riding in spirit with you all,
Judy

Hey Bonnie......welcome.

I also ride a Road King. A gift of sobriety

share this with me:

"Poor health and a complete lack of money necessitated my remaining with Dr. Bob and Anne for very close to a year. It would be impossible for me to pass over this year without mentioning my love for, and my indebtedness to, these two wonderful people who are no longer with us. They made me feel as if I were a part of their family, and so did their children. The example that they and Bill W., whose visits to Akron were fairly frequent, set for me of service to their fellow men imbued me with a great desire to emulate them."

Welcome, Bonnie! If y'all are in the neighborhood in August, come join the fun. Some of us are bringing our "family and friends" along, and North Carolina's a gorgeous place to ride!

Hi Toad, Sounds like you were one lucky man meeting Bob and Anne~~~I'm just so happy to read how wonderful all of you have done. Thats something to be proud of. Getting your lives back together and enjoying the frsh air......
And Bill~~Thanks for the invite. Maybe some year we can join you all but this year my hubby is retiring and we have a few trips planned from between June-Nov...already. I'll be checking in here every so often. I love your stories and I'm just praying that my son runs across someone like you fellas thats in recovery....he's having a tough time staying clean but I'm sure he isn't working the program right...Smiles, Bonnie

I am old, but not that old.....................That actually was a quote from the Big Book. Under the quote it says that it is from the Fourth Edition and gives the page numbers.

I figure to be an alcoholic and to have known Bill and Bob in the 1930's, a guy might have to be at least 98 years old.

Thanks for the lengthy life complement. If I don't drink or use, and by the grace of God, I might make it.

Hi Toad~~ Sorry. I guess I had better pick up that Big Book. I guess my "blondeness" has shone through again. Have a great day, Bonnie
