sandy and i'm an alcoholic i asked lady to set it up this way because i can stand for 45 minutes

but i couldn't stand all

morning I can tell you that so if you want to change seats and come over here or whatever

be my guest let's see my sobriety date is December 7th 1964 and my home group is the

Saturday night fever group in Tampa, Florida.

And it's a great group, just like your group is.

Let me tell you what I have semi in mind,

because I never have anything really in mind when I start these things,

but thinking about it last night,

what I'm going to do is just give two talks. It's just like you're attending an AA talk. This is not a workshop or anything like that.

There's going to be a lot of thoughts that I have about spirituality and AA.

And of course, these are my own personal opinion.

If I say anything that is something that your sponsor would disagree with, then listen to your sponsor.

I mean, this is just my experience with spirituality and Alcoholics Anonymous in our

12 steps. And so what I plan on doing is do two sessions and we'll take about an hour and 15

minutes, something like that, and then it won't run into the afternoon and we'll be through by

lunch. And we'll take a 15-minute

break in between and get our juices churning again it's awful hard to sit that long so that's

what i have in mind and the starting point that i was going to take was i don't know why why, oh, no, I know what I want to do before I start that.
