Summary

Yisreal C is sharing at the ABC Newcomers zoom meeting on the topic: That we think is the root of our troubles, this meeting was recorded in mid February of 2024. If you are in the PNW toward the end of July I just added a Young Peoples Conference (WSCYPAA VII) taking place in Tacoma WA. If you have never been to a Young Peoples event (your age does not matter) the energy and passion of the participants never fails to impress. I spoke to someone involved in it last night and based on how enthusiastic he was this will be no exception.

0:30.2	My name is Jisraal Campbell and I'm an alcoholic. I'm a member of the Mediterranean group. We also meet on Zoom. We meet on Wednesdays, only on Wednesdays at 9 PM Jerusalem time. I'm coming to you from Jerusalem, Israel. That is 2 p.m. Eastern and 11 a.m. Pacific. If you're further around this round, the earth of ours,

0:58.8	Yes, I am 16,070 days sober today on the 13th of February.
1:08.0	That is one day short of 44 years of sobriety. Should I stay sober until the end of this meeting and I have every intention to do so as this meeting ends if it ends on time and since it's being
1:29.9	run by a group of control freaks I'm sure it will end on time.
1:36.7	Anyone that mutes the chat definitely will end a meeting on time.
1:49.8	So I have every intention. I have no alcohol in my home. I simply have coffee. I'm not addicted to coffee. I just drink it so as to not get a headache.
