Hi Matrika,
-=> Quoting Matrika to Sober Swede <=-
 Ma> Going to one meeting a week and getting criticized for it, huh?  I've
      Yeah...maybe they don't have enough to do.  :)  They also don't like it 
that I was sober for 4 years before I joined AA.  I guess I'm a bit of a 
renegade.  But I'm staying sober and that works for me.
Ma> lived in sections of the country where they only HAVE one meeting a 
 Ma> week due to it being rather rural - like it parts of southwest
 Ma> Virginia past Roanoke.  When folks were in trouble down there they'd
 Ma> sometimes  have to drive 50-75 miles or more to get into to Roanoke to
 Ma> get that  extra meeting, which was how I met many of them.  Most of
 Ma> them had  GREAT sobriety, in my opinon.
      I know of some people that have computer meetings and that's all they 
have
available on a regular basis.  AA seems to have a problem with computers and 
AA 
as a combination.  I brought it up at my meeting and they were interested in 
what I was doing and some of the things i've printed out from here are on the 
table with the pamphlets et.al.  There's some nice shares here and I figure 
they
are all "tools" in keeping on that long and happy road to life.
