Hello BTB friends,
WOW Spelled Backwards is WOW
Sorry it's taken ten days to share the time I had at our 67th Anniversary. I needed time to "veg" out. I'm sending a copy of my time in front of 200 people. We had people from all over the country show up for this special event.

I was so nervous when I spoke, that I had to walk outside and puke. It's funny now, but I just couldn't believe the Spirit of Bill W. and Dr. Bob were there with us.

This is what brings me to what I'm about to say; we have a declaration here in A.A. which states, "I am responsible. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. to be there." And for that: I am responsible.

So friends, I want to be made available to anyone who suffers from the diseases of alcoholism or addiction. I wish to become anyone's Temporary Sponsor and offer what has been freely given to me by my Sponsor. Please think about this, you don't have to hurt one day more. If you're willing to go to any length to stay clean and sober, start a new reach-out to me through this blog, or reach me directly from my address posted at the end of this blog.

In closing: we may have gone so far into our addictions or alcoholism that we have broken all restraints. We struggle to be free from the control of society and loved ones, only to discover that our bondage doesn't come from outside sources. All Hope seems lost, but where there is still life, there is still hope.

God can touch my insanity and restore me to sanity.

So if anyone wishes for the freedom I have just spoken of, reach out. When you do, my hand will be there. Always.

Peace,
Billy

Wow! (Get it?) That sounds like a very moving anniversary you had! I'm not sure I could ever speak in front of those many people; sometimes stagefright gets the best of me. Anyway, I just want to graduate you truly, by God's grace, for what you are doing. I feel like we humans don't reach out and build fellowship with one another enough. Maybe we're all like Adam in some way, being ashamed of our faults. But all it takes is love and forgiveness, and our previous flaws are mended. Keep up the good work, and keep writing!
