by god's grace in a program called alcoholics anonymous i haven't had a drink since april the 11th

of 1977 and for that

I am eternally grateful. I want to say I have a home group because that's what I always say,

but I don't right now because two weeks, about two and a half weeks ago, Dave and I moved

from Birch Bay, Washington,

which is the most northern tip, the northwestern corner of the United States, right across

from Canada, to Jacksonville, Florida.

Now, so I don't have a home group.

But I'm going to lots of meetings, and I'm pretty sure what's going to be my home group,

but I haven't made that decision yet.

Anyway, I have a sponsor, and my sponsor has a sponsor.

And those are the things I need to have to be a good member

in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and and that's being a good member what I need to do to

continue to recover and I loved your talk last night why are we here I'm here so that I continue to recover from the

disease of alcoholism. And in order to do that, I need to work the steps, I need to work

the traditions, I need to work, or I need to apply the traditions and the concepts to my life.

And those are the things that I need, because if I stop doing that, then I'll lose my

relationship with God. And God is who keeps me sober. I am delighted to be here. And Lee's

who invited me, but I think Anne's, I want to thank Anne for having the dream, the idea, and getting it going. Look at first time
