covered alcoholics thank you i hope ever read memorize the big book?

Everyone?

No one?

All right.

If I say anything that sounds like my opinion tonight, please disregard it.

Please throw it away.

I'm here to carry my experience, Strength and Hope, and my experience in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous,

as I've done it with my sponsor and as I've done it with my sponsees.

So, you know, sponsorship is a funny thing.

Several weeks ago, I was driving up to my home group, and I kept thinking to myself, you know, I think I'm going insane, you know. And I thought, you know, am I too old to go insane?

48, you know, I mean, you'd think I'd go insane earlier than this.

So I walk into my whole group and I walk over to my sponsor and I'm about to pose the question,

is it too old to go insane?

And he goes, would you like to do a big book study?

And I thought to myself, and he goes would you like to do a big book study i thought to myself yes i would you know and uh for me that's kind of the the the way god lets me know is

stop whining and get busy um briefly um just a brief qualification is I drank.

I don't know why you're here tonight, but I drank.

And drinking worked.

I have found two solutions in life.
