We had A LOT of great comments from grateful recipients who asked for help this month – (Please call it out to us when you get these kinds of comments from your inquirers)
-Thank you this is helpful. I appreciate it
– I certainly appreciate you taking the time and courage to share your story. I see a lot of similarities in my story as yours. I only hope mine will have the same outcome (sobriety) as yours. Thank you so much for the resources. I found an AA online meeting last night through the Intergroup link you sent. I am planning to attend again tonight, as last night’s meeting was very helpful. I am 2 days sober, and I know the weekends will be a tough time for me, so the real test will be this weekend. I am planning to attend as many online meetings on weekends as I can and need. I have already found that it will be a helpful community! It is nice to not feel alone.
– This is great, thank you so much! I get so irritated with my sponsor, we’re doing the big book, my memory is shot,
– Thank you for reaching out to me, really appreciate it.
-Thank you so much for responding so quickly!
-I appreciate your response. Thank you
-Thank you so much for sharing your story and offering encouragement and hope. I have resisted reaching out to AA for years and I just got to the point where I just have to realize my life will get worse, and I can’t stop it on my own. I want better. So, I will be acting on your advice. Thank you.
-Thank you so much for your mail. I took the time to read through your story and your words of encouragement, i am truly hopeful for the future.
