For the friends of Bill
I thought it would be easier if I made a discussion about this instead of a comment that way people can separate topics.
SO this is for my AA buddies... feel free to chime in. :)
Today is one of those days where I just don't feel like going to a meeting but I know that's when I should. One of my best friends - who has such an amazing life (he's a millionaire artist) - has relapsed again and it makes me so sad. He just can't string together more than 30 days lately. When I met him he had a year... now I have more time than him. And I'm only coming on SIX MONTHS!
ANYWAY -
I actually wish more of my AA friends in LA did LOA work. I don't know if they use the phrase "Cash and Prizes" in your AA circles out there but out here it's used a lot. Basically, a lot of people get sober and then their life gets amazing, money comes in, love, all kinds of stuff (which makes a lot of sense because they're loving themselves more etc. etc.) and then they go out and then they lose everything...
for me, as a newbie, it's always a challenge to remind myself why I go. I'm pretty high bottom by a lot of LA standards (out here, almost every AA I know is an ex junkie or coke head). But I can't deny the change in my life...
AND I manifest so much more now. I was drinking when I started LOA work... and it worked, don't get me wrong, but now it works so much more.
Anyway - I'm just doing the whole "checking in" thing. I'm glad this forum exists because I'm getting annoyed with a lot of the critical people in my AA circles here. So many people just seem miserable. Aside from my sponsor, who I love. I really really really want to attract AA friends into my life who are POSITIVE, SUCCESSFUL, SPIRITUAL and work a good program. That's what I need.
K bye!

Hi there Tatiana yes I believe that CCOR , LOA & The Secret are a deeper level of our 12 step programme AWESOME!!! Yes I surround myself with people who have a positive out look on life & who are motivated toward change. Hey GOOD ON YOU !!!! Whoa!!! 6 wonderful months of sobriety what a gift, my sobriety is the most precious gift in my life so many people never get what we have one day at a time and next month on the 8.01.2009 through the grace of my higher power I will celebrate 23 years sobriety in the beginning I couldn't even imagine being 1 week sober and now here we are.I had those times in my first few years when i didn't always feel like going to a meeting but most times I would go along knowing that meetings only last for a hour because I really didn't want to go back to my destructive behaviours and alcohol dependancy the consequences would be horrific for me and my family. I seen many people relapse and never come back & of course sadly many die or end up in mental institutions so the choice that we have made is by far the very best choice we now have CCOR and many other amazing influences in our lives today. Your friend is in my thoughts and prayers I pray that he will find his way soberity is WONDERFUL and sharing with you is a blessing Arohamai SoniaJ

Hi There
I agree with Sonia. I haven't gone a week without going to a meeting. That doesn't mean that I want to go. The amazing thing is, when I do go I hear something I need to hear and often it's from someone I don't like. God has a great sense of humour.
Tatiana, keep going to meetings, do service and keep in contact with your sponsor and other positive people. Get in the centre of the wheel. Less chance of falling off.
Other AA's may not do LOA. That's ok. It's their journey. Maybe one day they will. Maybe they do something else. The main thing is that they are doing AA. I don't have CCOR, LOA or The Secret if I don't do my 12 step programs. My 12 step programs are my foundation, everything else including LOA are the amazing furnishings that are a result of sobriety. Then more results happen from that, as we already know.
Well done for 6 months.
God bless
Maree
