so tonight i was in a meeting and i felt somthing come over me. i felt that my experience could once again help sombody. this feeling comes and goes and i usally dont feel it. what happens is i will start talking in a meeting and after i talk i wont remember what i said, but new guys will come up and talk to me. tonight i remember what i said and i could feel my higher power guiding me in my talk. after i was done a new guy that had just moved there from new jersey came up to me and started to ramble about how he couldnt fit in. his statement was Fargo is to slow for him. for you who know nothing of fargo. its in North Dakota right dab in tthe center of no where. he told me he was thinking of going back to new jersey because he felt like he did another geographical change. then i think at this time because of my experiece i could help him. i looked at him and told him if that is the case not to worry about it to much. THE BIG BOOK IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE. as soon as it came out of my mouth it shook me. i had no idea where it came from. but it was true. and it gave me a sense of ease and comfort to know that no matter where i go sober, even with all my defect i can always use my big book(the program of action).

i want to thank AA for my recovery today. you brought me to a GOd i can depend on. thank you for making it possible to go anywhere to be happy and sober.
