This week, our group was especially small, so we did an off topic meeting.

Rather than follow our usual format, we read and discussed 2 articles recently written by Herb K. on the essentials of working a program of recovery and the balance between the Fellowship and the personal practice of working a spiritual program of recovery.

How It Really Works – article

When Did Meetings

I think that it is a very clear and succinct explanation.

Next week, we will continuing reading and discussing The Four Absolutes Pamphlet on unselfishness and the AA Big Book.

For our next story, I would like us to read The Professor And The Paradox, which is from the AA Big Book, first edition. There are beautiful program nuggets in this story. The link to the text as a word document is below. It was also posted last week as a blog post, so that we can read it as a group more easily.

THE PROFESSOR AND THE PARADOX

Our homework for the next few weeks is to consider and write on:

“What does it look like in your life when you are absolutely Unselfishness? Write out a vision for yourself….”.

The plan for our group is to divide our time between doing the steps and reading from the stories in the AA Big Book.

I am so grateful to be sharing this journey with all of you!

Thank you all for sharing your experience, strength and hope.

In love and service,

Shira
