My Chance to Live

“When I am willing to do the right thing, I am rewarded with an inner peace no amount of liquor could ever provide. When I am unwilling to do the right thing, I become restless, irritable, and discontent. It is always my choice.”

Alcoholics Anonymous 4th Ed, p. 317

From the Archives . . .
Putting Traditions 1, 4, and 6 to work! The North East 12 and 12 Group (1985) originated in a meeting sponsored by the North East Big Book Group, one of two groups already meeting in North East Methodist Church… They now meet at Saint Mary Anne’s Episcopal Church across the street. Their recorded history explains why. In 1991…“our group conscience felt that the three AA groups located in North East should not be located in the same church. It might imply affiliation, plus the group will benefit with a larger room with kitchen facilities available.” A two-fer! Are you interested in archives work or would you like help working on your group’s history? Contact archives@nemdaa.org.

NEMDAA Spring Appreciation Breakfast is scheduled for April 16th at Level Fire House. Would you or your home group like to be of service? Please contact the office at 410-272-4150 or Intergroup Chair at carol@nemdaa.org to learn how to sponsor the event.
