Hi Holly, welcome to the board. Feel free to post the list here, if you can. Create a thread. We also have a "sticky thread" above with all kinds of AA stuff, speaker tapes, links etc... that it could go in.
yes, please post what you have so far, would love to get my brain cells stimulated this morning. i thought how wonderful it would be to see a list of tools and never did anything about it. thanks so much, jj/sheila
The list is in an email that's being passed around...send me your email and I can forward the list! hmbur@yahoo.com It's very interesting to see "tools" you've never seen before!
I did the cut and paste thing....but it didn't show up. I also sent it to Dean...maybe he can get it to post.
After a one hour meeting...the list had 28 tools...now its at 89.
Maybe the post is to long for this board.
I hope everyone add to it!!!
By the way...it's only been going on a week and I'm the one sending it out and I don't have any virus. I never thought about that someone could send me a virus in regards to this ...yuck.

Here is a list of tools started at a Closed Women's meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous on 03/19/2012.
Please add tools to the list.
If you don't want to add tools...just email the list back to hmbur@yahoo.com
If you are #100 or 200 or 300 etc...send the list back to hmbur@yahoo.com so it can be updated and re-sent out. We all need ALL the tools available...see pages 25 & 95 of the Big Book of AA.
