that the meetings I attend DO NOT allow excessive talk of Jesus or any particular religion; if they had, I would have run out of those rooms as fast as possible
that we read TIGHTROPE yesterday in the Big Book meeting. It's a story in the 4th edition, page 359. Here's a few excerpts that I really identify with ...
... Alcohol helped me to hide my fears; the ability to converse was an almost miraculous gift to a shy and lonely individual.
... My sponsor was gentle with me. He did not push his opinions on me. He had the sense to see that I was so afraid and so used to being alone that I could not face a "hard sell" approach.
... But once a conversation starts, communication frequently continues.
that I bought a classic Caddy yesterday (on eBay) and will pick it up in a couple of days. Some details on that soon.

Caddy on e-bay, how exciting!
Where the heck will you park it darlin'?
lol I can see you now, tooling through the Montrose in your Classic Caddy, all classic and stuff!
Congrats on the new Caddy, it's a beauty! Now to find a home for a Riviera land barge.
Love the 911 call.
great - when are you picking me up for a ride?!! i live in Katy now, you know...
I had the ability to converse--but only and always with the one I hated--myself. And there was the problem "self-ish"...
Things are different now -Peace!
I really like that you bought the Caddy. How cool.
Nice excerpt from the BB.
And yes, I don't want to hear about Jesus in meetings.
The important thing about meetings that you find the support and fellowship you need. I'm glad you have found that in yours, as I have in mine.
Can't wait to see the Caddy!! How awesome is that!?
