A Shot Glass of Recovery

Joe A - Kenwood High Noon meeting

Bo from the 5th Tradition Group in Toronto

Bo started visiting AA Solution Seekers home group from his home group the 5th Tradition group in Scarborough/Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A newcomer from our group followed a suggestion to go to the nearest local meeting and get a sponsor, he found Bo. Bo found us and the rest is history. We love Bo.
We think you will too.

Bel C from South Carolina

When I first met Bel, she was just like I was when I was new...angry and full of self pity. She asked me to be her sponsor and I said I had a full roster at that time and directed her to another. When that connection didn't work out, she came back again, still full I told her and suggested another person.
That person didn't work out. Third time was a charm, I finally had an opening and agreed to sponsor Bel. The wonderful thing about sponsorship, is seeing the change in someone when the program starts to finally click. 
Like all newcomers, (myself most definitely included!!!) Bel was defiant, obstinate and argumentative! Yet somehow still a treat to work with. lol
 
She has come a long way and around the 1 year mark finally spoke at our group. Not a dry eye was in the room (thankfully for us she couldn't see it! and yes she loves this type of humor, she has told us!).
 
Bel is an example that no matter the obstacle, you can get sober if you change your perception.
You don't need to see it, you only need to believe it.
Isn't our program just like that?

Buddhism and attachment

I recently came across this cool instagram page called the Holistic Psychologist. Her name is Dr. LePera and I think she is pretty cool. I recently bought one of her books called How to Do the Work. Being an alcoholic I know what that work is - it's work on self, discovery, change, letting go, detaching from outcomes and perceived notions and old ideas. Everything I am reading in her book, I feel I have gone through in my journey to recovery.
 
You will probably here me talk a lot more about her.

Tuesday July 9th, 2024 - Resentment it's a real bitch

Tuesday July 9th, 2024
 
Resentment – this word occurs 17 times in the first 164 pages of the big book of alcoholics anonymous.
 
We first come across it a couple of times in Bill’s Story, Bill Wilson was the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
One of those times is found on page 15 when Bill is talking about being sick, and he doesn’t mean physically.
 
Today I share my own perspective and thoughts on resentments and talk a bit about Emmett Fox and his book  "The Sermon on the Mount".

We have landed on my FAVOURITE pages in the big book. Pages I once hated because I was told to read them so many times. But they would identify the real problem that stood in the way of my facing life effectively!
In later pages they would then reveal the solution to that very problem!
That's what this book does.

Patty O from Jacksoville FL by way of Cincinnatti

Patty O (or Patty R.) with over 40 years of sobriety teaches us some keys to staying sober for that long, one day at a time.
She has a home group, a sponsor who has a sponsor, sponsees and she does a ton of service. 
Chances are if you've been in a psych ward or a prison institution - you've met her doing service.
 
She is a remarkable example of how recovery should look.

Lisa M at Prime Time Toronto Friday night group

This was one of my favourite online meetings during covid. They talked program which, let's face it, a lot of online meetings were not doing at the time.
They stayed in the solution focusing on getting out of self and gave solid resources and guided all in attendance how to identify ego and stay out of self by inviting God in every single minute of every day.
 
Check them out if you can as they are still online - Friday nights at 8pm eastern time. This is there zoom link. https://primetimeisnow.zoom.us/j/93964606710?pwd=cDhYQXNsejVrMWRMdXBzM0lGRHRndz09
