The Lunchtime Lifeline Group holds 60-minute Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings at noon 365 days a year. AA is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. All are welcome regardless of the nature or extent of their addiction or recovery. There is no cost to attend, although all AA meetings asking for voluntary donations to support the meeting.
A fundamental assumption of AA and all 12-Step recovery programs is that we work on ourselves to become better people. Those attending the Lunchtime Lifeline meetings share their thoughts on readings such as those presented in daily addiction recovery readers. For example, from August 6 in Daily Reflections: Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows, and they retaliate. From April 6 in Walk in Dry Places: I’ll check myself today to see if false pride is dictating what I say and do. The more I can let others see me as I really am, the more honest my relationships will be.
