I work retail in the United States and the time leading up to and from Thanksgiving until Christmas is the craziest time of the year. Naturally I am in a leadership position at my place of employment. This year I wasn't able to get to as many meetings as I have in the past almost 2 years, and that amongst other issues made me a freakin mad man.
On top of all that I wasn't able to go teach the steps at the D. G. Dunsten Center in Mt. Ida to the fact that the kids get to go home and take a Christmas break from treatment. I can't believe you let a real alcoholic / dope fiend go home to use for the holidays, but they do it. Who really cares anyway. Let's get back o me (I'm not much but I'm all I think about), thank you.
I went to a meeting tonight at Cosmo's (a local Little Rock, Arkansas AA group) 5:30 meeting and it was a full moon for sure because there were some crazy's tonight. Just to let you know Cosmo is the ultra conservative rich man's AA in Little Rock they don't cuss out load, you know that type of person, very reserved. This lady from the ATL (Atlanta) walked in and took over! She read How it Works, and held the meeting hostage for quite some time while sharing.
However, without that it was a really good meeting for me because I haven't been to a meeting in a week and when I spoke with my Gangsta Recovery sponsor Edwin H. he made it clear that it was imperative that I make at least three (3) meetings a week! So that is what I am going to do... exactly what he says.
While sitting in the meeting I had a girl that I used to have sexual relations with on one side and my new sponsee (who is taking some action by the way) Ryan T.
My point with all this is that through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous I have found the best design for living that I have ever known. The second thing I have learned is that without the program of Alcoholics Anonymous I will not have that better than average retail job to work in the Holidays because everyday will be a Holiday. So through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous www.aa.org it really is a wonderful life this Holiday Season!
