A Chairperson and three members sharing on the topic:
Sandy from Washington, DC. sober 34 years since March of 1971.
"We AA's came into AA 'full' of a lot of things - anger, fear...and the flip side is that we were never 'full' of much that was worthwhile."
Robert N. from London, UK, sober 28 years since 8/1/1976, Scottish, with a great accent and wearing a kilt, he came into AA at age 29, in a miraculous way, living on the streets of London, drank once more and got sober at age 30.
Barry from Toronto, ON, sober 14 years since July 1990, he came in feeling entitled rather than grateful.
"The feelings I get when I am up here is overwhelming."
