Years ago my sponsor told me that if I didn't work the steps I would drink again. I did what he suggested and have been sober every since.

An AA, who is active in their disease, is committing slow motion suicide. Without intervention, or reaching out for help, they will die.

How to stop drinking: Get a sponsor, work the steps, go to (AA) meetings, don't drink between meetings. Above all: don't take the first sip.

When I was drinking I was so insane, my thinking was so twisted, I actually made a long list of things I thought I would lose if I stopped.

How low must our bottom be? I suggest the first realization we have a problem is all that is needed to begin the process of getting sober.

Working with others is the key to maintaining sobriety and the lifeblood of AA. Because others shared of themselves I am sober today.

One alcoholic talking with another is the secret. At a meeting, on the phone, at a coffee shop, the setting is not material, the sharing is.

Acceptance is one of the keys to living a happy and sober life. Accepting life on life's terms, accepting "what is", accepting yourself.

AA is a program of action. Right thoughts lead to right actions which lead to right feelings and helps us maintain our sobriety. Pass it on.

I love meetings with newcommers. They are the "most important people in the room" as we were, at one time, & are sober today because of it.

Just learned about a new resource for recovery. The book: "Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries".

Participated in day-long class on recovery at Spirit Rock with Kevin Griffin, author, "One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps".

Just finished reading Noah Levin's inspiring book "dharma punx". Here is a brief YouTube interview with Noah: http://tinyurl.com/cj8and

Serving today as a General Service Representative at the CA northern coastal area 06 2009 pre-conference assembly.

Dozens of GSRs speaking on the question of whether or not to remove the "gray pages" in the Grapevine. Many diverse perspectives shared.

Topic of discussion: consider eliminating words like "homemaker" & "black" from Q & A on Sponsorship pamphlet - I think yes.

Overwhelming support for development of pamphlet for members with special needs including accessibility issues.

Major support for the creation of literature that speaks to agnostics, atheists and nonbelivers.

Topic of discussion at tonight's meeting was humility and responsibility. Learning about and accepting both are powerful tools of recovery.

At the "2009 post conference assembly" in Vacaville CA today. GregM gave an awesome talk at the pre-assembly dinner last night.
