Melanie from Maine is our little sweetie pie at AA Solution Seekers home group. She has all the best acronyms for GOD amongst other AA mysteries. She is super kind and loving.
So glad this Group of Drunks provided Good Orderly Direction to bring us all together and unite us through GUS (Great Universal Spirit).

I first heard Craig when I attended an online book study he was chairing for Prime Time LA. It was an Emmet Fox book study and I went to try and let go of the resentment I carried when I heard the Lords Prayer read at meetings. If this wasn't a religious society, we sure did borrow a lot from it! So as with all things that bother me, trouble me, irk me - I need to change the things I can...which...spoiler alert...is always ME.
So I went to "make use of what religious people have to offer", as it says in the Big Book. I not only ended up being ok with the Lords Prayer, I found new and insightful meaning to it. It has helped me build a closer connection to my higher power.
 
Craig is another amazing teacher in AA that I have been blessed to know.

we are in HOW IT WORKS - CHAPTER 5
 
#AA #Howitworks

In January 2024 I flew to Puerto Vallarta Mexico to speak at a conference called #SobrietyUndertheSun
It was my first international speaker invite. It was a mixture of terror, gratitude and excitement to carry the message of alcoholics anonymous to that many people. 
I was also asked to do a workshop. I chose to ask a more seasoned veteran, Larcine G from Al Anon, if she would like to collaborate on one with me.
 
I sent her my notes and ideas on the workshop, she called me and asked gently "Is this a 1 day or 1 hour workshop?". Right. Point taken.
Notes went in the garbage, we talked for about 30 mins and decided to do a workshop on the traditions and how they can benefit us in our relationships at home as well as at AA meetings. (Clearly she has never been to an AA business meeting!)
 
We didn't talk again til the day of the workshop, nor did we know what the other person was going to say.
Somehow, let's call it what it is, The Grace of God, we managed to give a cohesive talk and keep it to the one hour time frame we had been given.
 
It wasn't supposed to be recorded but someone in the audience thought it should be and later sent me this mp3.
I hope you enjoy!

This next speaker you will probably already know if you ever listened to my last show 2 sober chicks, she is one of my sponsees and she has always said I can share freely of our experiences together. Which I am truly grateful for, because we have had some learning! lol
From the very first time Sarah decided to announce " we're going to be best friends" to which I gruffly responded "I'm not here to be your fucking friend I'm here to help save your life."; to today, when we actually are the best of friends. 
 
Sarah's higher power is Love, She is love.
Take it away friend.

I love the way Bruce takes people through the Big Book online. I love being a student of AA. Bruce is engaging, funny and knowledgeable about pretty much everything AA...although he will always be humble. So I will brag for him.

Greg is just a sweet southern guy...but he wasn't always that way. But I'll let him tell it.
