| BIG BOOK MEETINGS - so very helpful . . . . I would just like to share with you all how useful i find big book meetings. Share meetings are all well and good and are indeed very powerful . . . but i have found my home group which is a big book meeting extremely useful with helping me get the message ! Each week we read a chapter (we share the reading) from the big book and then share taking into account what we have read from the big book ! i have learnt so much. |

| For the first time since I started my recovery I have begun to really read the 12 X 12. This has helped me finally start to have an awakening like I have never felt before. I have read the first 9 steps at home by myself over the past 3 nights, and WOW...it has helped me so much. I don't know how I could have missed so much before. But I was blind to the message in some ways, or could only handle so much before. Now I see a path I need to follow. I feel ready and willing to do the step correctly this time. I need to, and I want to. My drinkin and druggin has broken me and made me humble. Now I need to carry that into my whole life. Accept, forgive, stay honest, and keep myself in check in all my affairs. |

| My home group has big book study every Wednesday night. It's been invaluable to my recovery also! |
