Welcome to episode 193 of the Recovery Show.

After another busy weekend, I'd like to share with you this open talk by Buck Inn.

I really enjoyed his old school

Al-Anon, his straightforward approach, and his folksy down-home humor. I hope you do too. At this time it is very truly my honor to be able

to present to you Buck Inn from Midland, Texas.

Buck has been in Al-Anon for 23 years.

I can't even imagine being an Al-Anon for 23 years

because I've been in Allen on for two.

He says that he is fortunate.

He has had more than one alcoholic in his family.

In fact, what he told me is that they're cheaper by the dozen. But tells me that he's a geologist.

I think what he really does is drill oil wells.

You may play around with a few rocks here and there as well. The name of the group that he belongs to in Midland is the 710 Allenon group. We are very privileged to have Buck with us. He arrived last night and his luggage did not,

but it caught up with him this morning. So he seems to be intact and all in one piece and at this point I will turn the meeting over to Buck.

First, I will turn the meeting over to Buck. First things first.

First.

How many y'all here for your first conference?

Raise your hand. How many y'all here for your first conference?

Raise your hand.

Let's give my hand.

You're the one we're putting this on for.

You know, somewhere probably not too far from here.
