Well, every year there is an AA convention in Sparks Nevada
held at Asquaga's Nugget, and yes many that go to the Convention
do gamble the whole 4 days. That btw was the only casino I
was ever 86'd out of during my 'active' years, lol

It was interesting to go there sober about 3 years, to see if I
had a gambling problem. Turned out that I did not, I would do
all that gambling because the drinks were FREE.

Not the case for my second husband who was sober in AA,
however, while we were married, he switched addictions to
gambling, and never was able to stop that.

As to this 'AA Group' he belongs to, sounds kind of 'hinky' to me.

Sounds more like some of the 'fellows' from the AA group are
having 'weekend retreats' at a cabin some where just so they
can gamble. Does not sound good to me ...................
