Didn't belong to a group to get my 30 month pin, I was later given one by a long-timer. I went from one end of the city to another, north and south, east and west. I ended up at the Hamilton Women's Discussion Group were they had discussion plus a Big Book discussion table and a beginners table which was Steps 1, 2, & 3 in rotation. They had an open meeting at the end of the month for anniversaries. They were known for their food. Men thought we discussed them and thought we were men haters. We were there because we loved men too much or we feared them or were angry at them, which was my case.

They closed the meeting in a circle, gave out hope stones and said The 12 Promises before the closing prayer. Couldn't find the serenity and the power like that in any other meeting, and even though I left after four years, it was my hope to take what I found there and pass it on. I took the circle to my next group. I ended up the only woman in the group. It was a 12 & 12 Discussion Group which had been missing in my program. I then moved onto an Open Discussion Group before I left AA and went to NA and from there to Al-Anon, to complete my circle of recovery. When I need a meeting, I go where I need to go in today. The 12 Steps are a common denominator.

Thanks for sharing.
