Group Conscience

.

A day or two behind;

Friday, noon at Cabrini

and the usual souls

were in attendance,

give or take a few.

.

The topic bounced

but it was mainly based on the

daily readings and of course

not drinking one day at a time.

.

The Daily Reflections topic was how the group conscience

kept A. A. on track and what the role of the long timer,

the elder statesmen and stateswomen, was in making

sure that the groups primary purpose did no waver.

Some less than humble long timers had something to say,

most of the long timers just sat quietly and nodded their heads.

.

Saturday ; 1;00 PM on Century Drive,

Just the core group and the discussion was

mainly focused on the miracles that recover.

Where were the new comers ???

also took some discussion time,

attraction rather than promotion,

court appointed, drugs,

the demographics of living in Florida

where there are lots of older

and long time fellowship members.

.

Just keep coming back ...

Noon Meeting

.

.

.

.

.

Chilly winter day, television sucks, and I

have these thoughts that need to find a home.

Had an idea and the result is going to be

a few comments on the meeting (s)

that I attend, on the day I attend them.

Todays reading from the Daily Reflections

talked about the laughter found at a meeting

and the group held to this as a topic.

This is a regular meeting for me because

this group may find a topic but the underlying theme

is always about not drinking one day at a time,

the main reason I go to a meeting.

The main idea was that the happy, joyous and free

members have learned to laugh with each other,

not at each other.

We shared the silly, stupid things that we did while

we were drinking and the inane thoughts we used

to justify, deny our behaviors and we all laughed.

Great meeting.

There is no such thing as a bad meeting,

it is just that some meetings are better than others,

today was one of the best.
