Hey Lin, :17: It is always great to see you. I hope you have a great day! :42:

Hello to all those on this journey
 

Hi all. I'm Gherkinista, a grateful sober old alcoholic from Colorado, USA. This site was especially helpful for me to use each morning to start my day during the months of the pandemic, and I thank you all for being here. I am not a tech competent person, and have a slight cognitive disability so I tend to read more than I post, but I am extremely grateful for each person in the program, and feel that glorious cosmic connection to all fellow travelers on this remarkable twelve step journey. I believe no life could be more beautiful and meaningful than what we are offered through our 12 steps and fellowship.

Hi. My name is Teena M. from Makati City, Philippines. But for the Grace of a loving God and the fellowship of AA, I have not picked up a drink since my first meeting on November 6, 1991 and for that I am truly grateful.

Hi Teena, :17: It is so great to have you join us. Congratulations on your sober time! I hope you will continue to come and share with us. Have a great Friday! :42:

Welcome from North Dakota! :)

HI

Hi Anne, :17: I am so glad that you decided to join us here. I hope you will continue to come and share with us. Have a great Friday! :442:

Happy Thursday
 

Hideeho folks,

I'm Matt, an AA sober since 9/13/2017. My home group is in El Paso, TX.

As a matter of fact, next month I'll be chairing my home group's weekly, open AA meeting on Zoom, and I'm looking for folks that want to tell their stories.

Our format, like many others, starts with some readings, reminding folks of ground rules, then introductions before the meat of the meeting (see what I did there? lol). We like to have someone from outside our group join for a meeting, and tell an abbreviated (10 min or so) version of their AA story and relate it to a suggested topic for the rest of the shares. Who'd be interested in sharing their story with our military associated (but not exclusive) group here in El Paso Texas.

We do our meetings Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. MST on Zoom.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Matt
