Annual A.A. Picnic
and
Long Timers Meeting
Today my A.A. home group is hosting our annual barbecue and Long Timers Meeting. It is open to all A.A. groups in the entire area and we usually have about 100 to 150 folks come. After much eating and drinking of soda pop and coffee (well it is A.A., after all), we get to hear the "long timers", those with 20 years or more, speak about their journey to sobriety. My A.A. birthday is July 25 and I will be 19 years old. So I guess I'll be waiting almost two years to speak.
My home group meets at our church, St. George's in Post Falls, and Father Bill always lets us use the hall for our party. The Knights have a huge homemade grill that we get to use and everyone brings salads and sides. Isn't Father Bill good to us?
I'm sure I'll be all fired up to do the next step in A.A. after listening to many, many inspiring stories.
