Why is the GSR so important?

Duties of the GSR

1) Is the message being carried to corrections, treatment centers, Dui Schools, general public?

3) Volunteer, Fill Needs, & Drive Participation at AA Events

GSR “Guardian of the Traditions”AA experience has taught us…

I. AA must live or most of us must surely die

In a very sick and twisted example of why you should never bring children to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, Gilbert Ray "Butch" Hannah, 64 was arrested for molesting the granddaughter of another member who had brought her two grandchildren to the meeting to have "hot chocolate" in January 2013.

I'm so excited to find this blog feature of this website!

I hardly know where to begin!

But I do know that I have to be honest, genuine, and authentic!

In some circles, I'm known as a 'Maverick'.....and I don't apologize for that!

If I am faced with something I don't understand, then I must SEEK! And I don't draw conclusions from other peoples's findings, but must find my own!

Tomorrow, I'll truly 'introduce' myself. But for now, THANK YOU for this opportunity to express my true self!

This film is about to be released. I think some people here may have some interest in seeing it.

It appears to be an indy film, so I am unsure when it will be available through netflix or online.

In a very strange case of "patient dumping" Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services (http://mhds.nv.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemi...) has been publicly accused of discharging James Flavy Coy Brown to a Greyhound Bus Station with a ticket to Sacramento, giving him three days worth of medication and written instructions to follow up with Narcotics Anonymous and verbal instructions to call 911 when he arrived.

An interesting piece on True-believer syndrome from The Skeptic's Dictionary:

Sensory overload is one of the techniques used by deputy sheriffs in the video.
In my opinion this represents cruel and unusual punishment.

Alabama, also known as the "Yellowhammer State;" Heart of Dixie" or the "Cotton State" has a very big problem with Crystal Meth. A new proposed "Long's Bill" would make it mandatory that people will loose their children if they have been "treated" twice (2) in a five (5) year period. Currently the Bill includes both Alcohol and Drugs, but they are working on ways to eliminate Alcohol from the Bill.

When I was a kid I got the shit kicked out of me a couple of times a week. My mom would make me strip naked and she’d beat me with a plastic belt. She’s tell me that I was getting nine lashes and, “You little bastard, if you even move an inch or make a single peep I’ll cut your balls off and give you another three lashes.”
I never knew my dad when I was a kid. When I was 8 days old he shot a guy and went to Walpole prison. After 4 years he got out on parole and ran to Canada. I met him a few times in my 20′s, but I soon decided that I’d be better off not getting involved

Judge Rogelio R. Flores, Superior Court Judge in Santa Barbara County, CA, is not only a judge in the Santa Barbara Substance Abuse Treatment Court he's also a trustee of the General Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous. Does anyone else see a conflict of interest here?
