...Thanks for sharing

How many AA meetings have you done
since your last drink?
I know I needed a structured program
of positive actions to move forward....

Hmmm?

5 days sober. Tonight will be my 4th AA meeting. I'm just getting the feel for it now. I am gonna go for a few more weeks and listen/share a bit. I don't know when I should take the next step or what it really is.

Ok....

Next step? Look on the free literature rack for

"Questions and Answers on Sponsrship"

That's the official AA guideline and will help you
understand the vital role of a mentor.

Keep in focus...well done on your new beginning

tryingtolive Carol makes an excellent suggestion, one I would like to add is to show up a few minutes early and help set up the meeting, usually the proson stting up the meeting is also fairly new in the program and is an excellent source of what to do next. Oh yea and they love it when someone helps them setup! LOL

Thanks for the video. It's great to see something "real", when all we seem to hear from the media is about the revolving door of celebrities in rehab.

Hugs and prayers!

You're all very welcome.

Honestly, I never watched his show either (if I would watch late night I would usually watch Conan) but have watched his stuff and he is really good. He does all his own material and doesn't have a writing staff like Leno or the others. Damn funny too.

Craig Ferguson is indeed fantastic, and if I may let me suggest the following.

If you like that kind of talk, I have heard similar stories and some almost as funny, hundreds of times in AA meetings.

Just a thought. Thanks for the link and keep coming back no matter what.
