todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that we had only the 2nd first-time newcomer at the 6:30am meeting yesterday. This is rare, I guess because someone contemplating their first AA meeting is usually not awake by that time. Or else they're just going to bed. Understandably, he was nervous and he said so. He looked weak. He shared that he sometimes can't stop crying. He got a DUI just last week. Sound familiar?
that I haven't had the jitters (aka DT's) in 8 years
that I gained an appetite shortly after stopping drinking
for miracles -- big & small, noticed and unnoticed
for one-liners
Two things are infinite:
the universe and human stupidity;
and I'm not sure about the universe.

I remember my first meeting, how sheepish I was and amazed at all these sober people who were able to live without needing to get drunk. And how kind they were.
We get a lot of first timers at my 6:30 meeting. They all say they picked it because they thought no one would be there. ha!
Glad that he made it to the meeting. And I like the Einstein quote. I'm with him.
