From the Book

Things My Sponsors Taught ME
By Paul H.

On Going to Meetings (#2)

For an alcoholic, there is nothing more pressing than a meeting.

This was spoken to a new recruit who had exclaimed, “But Tuesday is bowling night!” Especially for alcoholics who are newly sober through A.A., sobriety is a fragile thing in the early days, and to let anything have a higher place than one’s A.A. meetings is to risk it all.

A.A. meetings are more important than any bowling league, television show, baseball game, or whatever. One can always bowl earlier or later or in another league. One may not have another chance at sobriety, and the alternative simply doesn’t bear thinking about.

Please feel free to share your Experience, Strength, and Hope
