I wish I would have been. Sounds like you were though

Whenever it strikes you, if you could share about your experience there, I'd sure love to listen.

hey Dan and anyone else who would like to here this

Now that I am rested and OFF the pink cloud, i am ready to share with you what the conference has taught me.

there were between 40 and 60 000 SOBER............... ALCOHOLICS all in one stadium. I mean, we're alcoholics, we're supposed to be drunk and screaming and obnoxious. But there we were, calm, smiling and civilized. The opening ceremony was great, the ,speakers spoke about AA on a global level, like the need for support from female members in India. The crowd was great, cheering and laughing, crying ang gazing compassionate glares, and not to forget nodding. Yet at the end of the meeting, when came the time to recite the serenity prayer, we had the traditional moment of silence;a moment of silence that gives me goose bumps when I think about it. And to finish off, we sang amazing grace toghether.
. I was at home with my family, all sixty thousand of them!

lol. we are not alone. AA is big and beautiful.

the next one is in SAN ANTONIO TEXAS, 2010!!!!!!!!!!!! be there, it is soooo worth it. You will have the time of your life.
