In NYC a lot of AA meetings are what they call speaker meetings, which means that at the beginning of the meeting someone speaks about their experience, strength & hope (or some other topic) for about 15-20 minutes. I've done it a few times. Tonight is usually a big meeting but between Labor Day and a massive storm there were only about 30 people there and no newcomers, even though it's a beginner's meeting -- I probably had the least amount of sober time in the room LOL. I can put out for a meeting -- that's why they ask me--but it's kind of gut-wrenching for me, and I always have a bad day or so afterwards. I can hear you, "so why you do it, Bunny, if it make you feel bad?" (But in purple Comic Sans). Because other people did it for me.

I hope you had a good nap, Cow. A good nap is a lovely thing.

Lenina, I'll work on the weather. Feel free to PM me before you arrive & I'll light you a special candle or something.
