Fieldnotes 5

-big meeting at fairbanks.. open meeting-

there will be a speaker today..
i love hearing these stories


this guy talks about how he has been in three different rehabilitation programs

damn.... not better by now? .. oh well i guess do whatever it takes

hes almost in tears.. he has let down his family and friends.. he has no one.. but alcohol

i feel like he had lost everything so he had a screw it attitude

he finally decided it was time to get serious. he checked himself into a thirty day inpatient rehab center..

thats hardcore.... im sure his story will get better and happier now

he talks about how hes done all the steps and is finally on the road to recovery and he talks about his wife and how they wouldnt be together if he was still drinking...

wow he seems so happy and im really proud of him and i dont even know him!

he tells everyone how completing the steps will help immensely

i think the steps are crucial to AA working

the meeting ends its usual way ...
has the same affect on me... its even more moving when there are a lot of people at the meeting

there are about 40 people at the meeting
great turnout...
