One of my AA friends has asked me to be group rep for our Sun. group. I'm thinking about it. I have a lot on my plate, but AA wouldn't exist wo/volunteerism. I think I'm going to do it. We've had service as the topic for discussion at our Sat. meeting. There are always those folks who just come in & sit down every week. But, there are the active members who take on quite a bit. My sponsor is one of those people really committed to service. Not only does she do service, but she tries to do something a little different every year. This year she's on an institutions (i.e.prisons, jails) committee which brings AA to inmates.
I'm working on my 4th step...listing the people, institutions, isms that I hold resentments toward. There are 2 resentments on the list that I feel reluctant to let go of. I wouldn't say these resentments are eating at me, but I don't think well of these 2 people. I'm taking it one step at a time...not expecting myself to be "cured" of all my resentments right now.
We're getting ready for our 2 week trip to Italy. We'll see family & the place where my maternal g-parents grew up. It'll be an adventure us 2 senior citizens. We won't be on a formal tour, but we've planned the trip pretty carefully so that we won't have to wander around or sleep in the park at all.
Other than that, it's the same old daily challenge of staying sober, alert to any changes/amends I need to make, & doing service work for my loved ones & my groups. Of course, I have some fun in between.
