Need suggestions: New Chairperson - "As Bill Sees It" Group pg. 36

I have finally stepped forward to chair a meeting series for January.

The topic of the first meeting I am to chair next Tuesday is "as Bill Sees It" page 36 - "Humility First".

Any suggestions on an opener for discussion?

Humility and its connection to anonymity? You'll have to do your own research.

Perhaps, just do the reading and be humble enough to leave it as that.

Hi;
I'm Marc and I am Alcoholic.
I suppose asking for help could be considered a humility thing.
So here's a thought...
I'd like to help you with your homework but I can't
because then I would have to reveal some TOP Secret AA Stuff
which you can find for yourself in the TwelveAndTwelve.

Chairing and Leading meetings can be fun..., So have some!

 

Marc

Welcome to MIP neemta, ... glad you found us ...

1st, thank you for volunteer'n for service as a meet'n chairman for a month ... I've always enjoyed myself when chair'n meet'ns ... and like Marc said, be sure and have some fun with it ...

I wrote an article 'bout humility back 4 or 5 years ago ... I based it on one of the books Bill read before write'n the AA Big Book, and I think it was based on the info in the book "The Sermon on the Mount" by Emmit Fox ... Excellent book by the way, and you can find a mountain of info in there ... (took me a month to track that book down when I wanted to read it)(it be'n out of print 'n all) ...

I'll spend a bit of time and see if I can come up with my old article ... if I can, I'll send it to you by PM or post here ... wish me luck, LOL ...


Love ya and God Bless,
Pappy

Hey David;
Did Pappy send you the article?
Or did he give you some bullshit excuse about it being lost in a box in his attic. :)
