Post Conference Assembly Recap – Evan J_June 2017
My name is Evan and I am an alcoholic. Driving down to Ogden the back way, I started replaying my experience at the pre-conference assembly. Recalling the agenda items my home group discussed, I was curious as to what outcomes would surface- feeling excited, nervous and honored for this opportunity. Opening night began with a
The Hand of AA – Inclusive never Exclusive

Except for our paid part time bookkeeper we are a totally volunteer operation. For those that may not be aware we are alone in accomplishing
Step Four – Patrick R_LifelineApr17
What a gargantuan task this initially seems. Whenever I attempted introspection before recovery, I became anxious and full of self loathing, which led to heavy drinking and often suicidal thoughts. Throughout my life I generally thought of myself in negative terms. I knew that I had the capacity for love and kindness, but to mine
