Dan and I have been attending an AA convention this weekend locally...  We were able to hear 2 leads yesterday.. by Howie H. (Cinn, OH) and Scott R. (LA, CA) and both were very good and funny.. altho I found that I liked Scott's sense of humor more..  and bought a 4 CD tape album titled Healing Through Laughter and Scott is on one of the CD's along with Steve B., Ilene W. and Wayne B. Today we got there to hear a 9am lead... and went to an Alanon.. and Old Timers Panel.. and for the last lead tonight was Sandy B. (Tampa, FL)..   he has like 42/43 years sobriety.. and I heard he and Clancy were excellent speakers.  And I must say.. I LOVED HIM.  What a complete joy to listen to.. such an inspiration.. and wonderful humor.. I actually laughed out loud.. which I don't very often.  I ended up buying a 3 CD album of him titled God Is Everything or He is Nothing.   Anywho.. just sharing.. and if you get a chance to hear these gentlemen.. especially Sandy B.. please go!!  oh yeah.. they held a Count Down.. (first I've been too) and was very touched.. and Dan and I had a tear in our eye when 2 people had 1 day sober and received a standing ovation.. it was a beautiful thing!! hugsss

Rhonda, What an awesome opportunity to really get some AA experience, strength and hope.  Good for you.  My sister has been to several national conventions, one in Seattle years ago.   I made it to a meeting last night.  The speaker was just released from prison seven weeks ago.  He has so much gratitude, and joy in his life.  Have a great time today. Hugs, Trish
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
