Good evening everyone.

Tim Alcoholic.

Also a member of Alan on.

If you're not qualified for Alan on by the time you get here by the time you've been hanging around AA

for two or three decades boy you qualify for Alan.

My date of sobriety is 24th of July 1993.

As someone said my home group is group 12 in San Antonio.

I do go to some place to place groups in London as well.

Three in seven is popular in AA to put three seven and 11 together or three in the 11 or three in seven.

There's an awful lot of material between three and seven. Seven makes sense only if you know what's going on in four or five.

But what we'll get to that.

Also three doesn't make any sense without one and two so I'm going to look a little bit out the steps which proceed that.

I'm going to use the big book so I'm going to look at the big book from the beginning of step three which is really page 58.

Step two very definitely finishes at the end of diagnostics and then we're into step three.

And the book's very clever it seems to recap as you go.

So wherever you get to it covers the ground you've already covered one way or another just to make sure that everyone is keeping up.

And for step three to make sense I think one really does have to look at those two pages from 58 to 60 so I'm going to do that.

I've never seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Now as I walked in there already what is our path.
