4/28/2016 0 Comments Notes For April 28, 2016Week #126 Tradition 7 “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions” Next Thursday, Stephanie will be in Rome, and the following Thursday in Florence. She will not be using communications technology during that time. Angela will facilitate a live meeting; we will be reading “Spiritual Experience”, page 567, Big Book. Questions for the next two weeks will be on the callback, not the live phone Thursdays. Please come live to support Angela: she will be asking for readers, and everyone will discuss the reading We are reading this 2 times because Stephanie says it is the most complicated piece of writing in the Big Book. We will go on the live call, listen to the questions on the callback during the week thereby getting a deeper understanding, and the 2nd week we will re read it, and then share for 3 minutes each. If there is time we may share a second time. Hopefully our experience will be very deep and we’ll understand what Bill Wilson is talking about. As pertains to Tradition 7, please give a donation so that Stephanie can pay for the website: storage and webmaster, and P.O. Box costs. Can even be $5. She most prefers a check with a little personal note from you, mailed to: Stephanie Whiting P.O. Box #531 North Pembroke, MA 02358 Week #126 Tradition 7 “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions” Book 12 & 12, bottom of page 160 Look up: aversion, havoc, convert, and “meeting-place hat” on page 161 in the 12 & 12. 1. Ego Feeding Proposition~wirte on this. What do you do that is ego feeding? Does it go sour on you? Is the $5 favor Bill is doing going to end in resentment? Are you trying to get esteem from outside to assuage your feelings of worthlessness? Only God can do that. Ego Feeding Proposition eases God out. Only a clash of egos results, and resentment. Look at yourself, your 3 x 5 cards, and see what qualities help you. Do you bring it to quiet time and your nightly review? 2. Go online and print out “Just for Today” if you don’t already have it. Just for this week, read this each day as you examine the ego feeding proposition.
