Alcoholics Anonymous of San Diego County Central Incorporated as San Diego Intergroup, Inc

7075 Mission Gorge Road, Suite B, San Diego, CA 92120

March 31, 2020 Dear San Diego Fellowship, As a regular member of two local groups I, like most of you, have seen the traditional structure of face to face Alcoholics Anonymous meetings transition to online and video conferencing formats. In what seems like an unfathomably short period of time groups and group members are inventing new methods of doing what we’ve always done, solve our common problems and help each other recover from alcoholism. The San Diego Central Office is adapting during this transitional period by posting and updating lists of local meetings that now meet by teleconferencing or telephone communications and important anonymity guidelines for those meetings. Please send meeting information to [email protected]. Although the bookstore is closed 7th Tradition contributions can continue to be made by check or by bill pay service through your bank or credit union. Contributions can be mailed to 7075‐B Mission Gorge Rd, San Diego, 92120. Your 7th Tradition contributions are used to support the activities of the San Diego Central Office including phone services for 12th Step calls and coordination of group activities. In order to acknowledge the contribution and send a receipt please include an email address with your contribution. Best regards, Tom M. SD Intergroup Business Committee Treasurer

ALLERGY FELLOWSHIP PASSWORDS AWAKENING FOUNDER PHRASES BODY GREAT SCENES COMPELS HALLUCINATING SCIENCE CONDEMNS HOPELESSNESS SILKWORTH DOCTOR HOSPITAL SOIL DRUNKS ILLNESS SPIRITUAL EARLY MIND TOOLS EGO NATURE TOWNS EXPERIENCE OBSESSION WORDS

A.A. Comes of Age "When A.A. Came of Age", page 13 "As we looked back over those early scenes in New York, we saw often in the midst of them the benign little doctor who loved drunks, William Duncan Silkworth, then Physician-in-Chief of the Charles B. Towns Hospital in New York, a man who was very much a founder of A.A. From him we learned the nature of our illness. He supplied us with the tools with which to puncture the toughest alcoholic ego, those shattering phrases by which he described our illness: the obsession of the mind that compels us to drink and the allergy of the body that condemns us to go mad or die. These were indispensable passwords. Dr. Silkworth taught us how to till the black soil of hopelessness out of which every single spiritual awakening in our fellowship has since flowered. In December, 1934, this man of science had humbly sat by my bed following my own sudden and overwhelming spiritual experience, reassuring me, 'No, Bill,' he had said, 'you are not hallucinating. Whatever you have got, you had better hang on to; it is so much better than what you had only an hour ago.' These were great words for the A.A. to come. Who else could have said them?."

13 Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Step Twelve, page 124 13 "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs." "Service, gladly rendered, obligations squarely met, troubles well accepted or solved with God's help, the knowledge that at home or in the world outside we are partners in a common effort, the well-understood fact that in God's sight all human beings are important, the proof that love freely given surely brings a full return, the certainty that we are no longer isolated and alone in self-constructed prisons, the surety that we need no longer be square pegs in round holes but can fit in God's scheme of things - these are the permanent and legitimate satisfactions of right living for which no amount of pomp and circumstance, no heap of material possessions, could possibly be substitutes. True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God." Reprinted with permission from A.A.W.S. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Step Eleven, The "God" Word, P-86, page 104 page 13 "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with "My higher power is very God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and much the love and wisdom the power to carry that out." I find in the rooms of A.A., "In A.A. we have found that the actual good results of prayer are beyond and the beautiful things I question. They are matters of knowledge and experience. All those who have see while walking in persisted have found strength not ordinarily their own. They have found nature. I have no problem wisdom beyond their usual capacity. And they have increasingly found a in using the word "God" peace of mind which can stand firm in the face of difficult circumstances." with or without a capital G.
