A week late posting...

The Tuesday Promises Meeting was celebration day,

the last Tuesday in the month and there were two celebrants,

ME and a young lady celebrating 28 years.

Since I was the younger in years celebrating

I was elected to tell my story first.

I only lied a little.

Funny thing, it was the same story I told the last time,

in sobriety I can now remember all of the lies I told.

I am glad I went first because the young ladies story

is very strong and it would have been a hard act

for me to follow.

Even though the group had heard our stories before

they were still very attentive and told us

that they were appreciative.

We had a larger than average attendance,

not too sure if it was the speakers

or the pizza and cake

that brought them to the meeting.

I am making a promise to get current on the meeting reports.

is that alcoholic drinks are made from fermented sugars

and once you stop drinking alcoholic beverages

the mind continues to crave the sugar and many soon

discover that they have substituted a new bad habit

for the old one.

Craving sugar, carbohydrates, candy, donuts, cakes,

pasta, bread, becomes the new bad habit

and if not watched carefully weight gain

can become a bigger problem.

The "Steps We Take" Friday night's men's meeting

always reads a tradition on the last Friday of the month.

The tradition number corresponds to the month so this night

we read and discussed the Fourth Tradition.

The last Friday of the month is also sober anniversary

celebration night and as Jack was celebrating two years sober

we had cup cakes to celebrate. I ate two ...

There is no such thing as a bad meeting,

it is just that some meetings are better than others,

the Men's Friday night meeting never fails to be one of the best.
