I second the motion for starting a meeting in your area. Surely you can't be the only one of our kind in your town. Seems like it would be an exciting thing to do! Also, I "attend" online video AA meetings which are really cool because you get to interact and they have meetings virtually ALL DAY LONG! I will inbox you the site I use if you like! Congrats on 3 years!

Okay, so y'all got me to do some research. Even though I am not AA's biggest fan, I do appreciate and find value in the friendship and shared experiences... so I looked up local meetings and truly, there are NONE! There's a meeting once a week about 15 minutes away North and 3 meetings a week 20 minutes East... This has got me thinking...

Unless I live in a weird bubble of "natural dryness", this area could use a new meeting or 10...

Why not give the existing ones a go. 15 or 20 minutes isn't far to be honest. Most of the ones I go to are at least that far. Then when you get to know the people there you may find someone who'd like to help set up the new one with you.

PS I find the speaker tapes realky useful when I can't get to a meeting or have something I felt I need to work on. Here's a link, just in case they could be useful for you. .. 5500+ AA Speakers & Tapes - Organized & Mobile-Friendly!

Hello, and congratulations on three years!
Do you mind if I ask what you mean by "stale"? Are you concerned at all that with your present life and obligations that there isn't enough in your life to keep your sobriety uppermost? I don't mean any offence. I am interested. I'm coming up to three years soon. Do you post at all in a monthly class here? I find it an invaluable resource.
Al the best.
