Not on the SR Forums as Often....

"Hello AAPJ,
Our records indicate that you haven't posted in a while. We want to hear what you have to say!"


I received the notice above when I logged in. I does point out to me how much less I am reading/posting here. Not that what I do personally is very important to most of you but here's why... its COVID... You see I am an AAer and when COVID hit all the FTF AA meetings went on line so instead of grabbing my coffee and reading the SR forums each morning I usually attend a 6am on line AA Zoom meeting. It's great. The AA group is based in North Carolina but anyone can log in. I am in Maryland and there is someone in France who usually joins our meetings. So if you have a desire to stop drinking and would like to attend a great AA meeting please feel free to join us. 6am eastern time every day of the year. You can find a zoom meeting link at commonperil.com. Most folks just log on and listen so if you are shy/quiet it's a great meeting to just listen. They don't call on people. Have a great day.

"SR is my people"

I respect that but at least for me having you in an AA meeting would be like meeting a celebrity. I know you are pretty humble but like it or not you are a recovery celebrity. You have helped so many for so long.

the fact that some might think of me as any kind of celebrity makes me want to run in the opposite direction, man.

I can see I'm going to have to go the humorous route



let us both continue to share our journeys, for many years

SD - I'm OK with that. I can't even get most of my AA friends to attend this meeting. 6am - are you crazy they say? I'm use to it.

Funniest response was from an AA friend of mine who said the only way she could make a 6 am meeting was to score some coke and stay up all night. We both agreed that would not be good idea as she just celebrated 3 years of sobriety. I hope all is well with you down in Texas.
