You know the ones you wish wouldn't end...they go a bit overtime and the recovery shared is top drawer.  It was one of those and the consequence for me is that feeling of gratitude which confirms that I am in the right place which was suggested to me by a power greater than myself and listening to others who love to support the recovery of everyone else in the room.  The topic was about the spirituality of our program and I shared about finding it recently in one piece of our literature "Came to Understand..." authored in 1974 first.  I had time to read it cover to cover as my wife and I tripped to Oahu, back to the Army Medical Center to have a post op inspection of my head surgery.  They liked it and the outcome on my health...I am accepting their diagnosis.

We dropped off our donation of AA and Al-Anon literature as they had none on board which I was hoping for after the surgery triggered my brain into running itself without any way for me to change it.  I learned more about my disease from this because my type of drinking use to do the samething...mess with the brain and it will do nasty payback stuff.  I needed to redirect it and thought our literature which I think about on a daily basis would do it only I wanted the black on white to help me.   They expressed gratitude and even suggested a future talk story with their mental health department...its in Gods hands now.     Thanks for letting me share.  ((((hugs))))
