here and there



todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for AA meetings that are centered around a particular step.  On Monday's, I attend a noon step meeting.  Yesterday it was step 9.  I can talk about this for way too long.  Suffice it to say (now) that when I first did this step with my sponsor, my life changed.

that because of the steps of AA, there is absolutely no person that I want or need to avoid at any time

that doing the next right thing so often produces comfortable results

that my Astros are off to the best start of a season in quite a while.  But as a realist, I know it's a looooong season.



Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Go Astros!

I find that the room frequently gets really quiet when we talk about steps four and nine. I bet there was at least one person praying that you kept talking.

I can't think of anyone that I want or need to avoid either. It is an amazing thing for someone who used to cross the street to the other side to avoid talking.
