Hey! I upgraded to an iPhone. Remember me lamenting my lack of Smartphone? (Whoop-di-do Kristin. No one cares...) Now I can publish quality videos of my dog to YouTube. I need to get a life.
Newcomer in the meeting last night. His very first ever meeting. I didn't get a chance to get his name or say hello. I hope he comes back. The topic was what brought us to AA. I always share in my leads that I was 12 Stepped into a meeting when a group of guys smoking cigarettes on a meeting break saw me stumbling through a back alley, drunk, and stalking my current love interest. Turns out that my paramour's apartment was across the alley from the AA clubhouse. I was hammered half out of my mind and they brought me into a meeting. I was 19 years old and remember absolutely nothing from that meeting.
Well, have a great day folks. Stay sober. Make it count.

Ha! That is a great story about your first AA meeting.
And - I love my iPhone. Happy smartphoning to you!
ohhh we can do face time on our iPhones
Ha! When in doubt, groom! God! You got it, girl! Spirituality in action! A newcomer coming off a drunk called me yesterday morning to cry about her craziness. Something made me tell her to take a shower and condition her hair (which she had said she wanted to chop off because it was a snarly mess from a two-week drunk), then call me back. She didn't, but I stayed sober, and I remembered being told when I was new that I should wash my kitchen floor. WTF? I said. How's that going to solve my problems? She said, find out; go wash your floor. I found out, and I'm still doing that 20 years later.
When in doubt, groom. Love it!
I want an iPhone. I just can't reconcile the monthly cost. Yet.
I don't remember much from when I was 19. Just that Boone's Farm was less than 99 cents a bottle.
Glad those fellows got you in at age 19. And glad that you are still being there for others who are hammered and need to be there.
Everything Apple is a good thing. Enjoy the phone. It is awesome.
I want an iphone! Lucky duck, you. I like leading a boring life, sure beats the hell out of drinking!
See you figured your phone out enough to install the FB app:) Ex girlfriend had the app on her Droid and every time one of her friends posted something a tone would sound, really freaking annoying, should be a way to prevent this.
Have a great weekend!!
I love meetings with brand-new newcomers. My first encounter with AA wasn't nearly as interesting as yours. Glad those guys found you!
