Today is Bill W. day
How interesting -- this is the first news story that popped up for me today. Coincidence?

Hey wouldn't it be great to be able to say on your 23rd BD that your sobriety date was on AA's 77th

I went to Akron some time ago on Founders Day,if you can visit some year then do so.It was cool to go on a guided bus tour of all the AA historical sites and to fellowship with all the people.Thousands of AA motorcycle people come there on their bikes and it's so different to see sober bikers.It was like a pilgrimige for me.

Ha, tomsteve, that is really funny ! Love it.

FredG, I didn't even know about Founders Day/Bill W day when I managed to stop and get resolved. Your thought is very nice.
