| A
woman with many years of sobriety decides she wants to be a
General Service Representative and discovers another Spiritual
Experience!
I read the Big Book, go to Big
Book studies, and find myself in the chapters and stories of the
Big Book on a daily basis. So I knew that going to visit the
birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous was going to be a wonderful
experience...and it turned out to be much more.
I've just returned from Akron,
Ohio, and through my twenty years of sobriety I've never
experienced anything so tremendous as Founder's Day in Akron. I
feel like I've truly experienced the Big Book of Alcoholics
Anonymous from the History that started in Akron.
The first person that I met
there hugged me and said "welcome home"….I choked.
The entire time I was there I was choked up in tears...tears of
joy and gratitude. I felt I truly had a Spiritual Experience,
and wish that every member of Alcoholics Anonymous could
experience Founder's Day in Akron at least once in their life.
I'm still on a Spiritual High!
God Bless, Maria O.
