What are my plans for this blog ?
Origionally I planned to reach out and help everyone. God knows you all need
my help……Sorry, I somehow fell short on that end.
Have I actually helped anyone? Yes—–One example—–
I got a phone call from a guest at the Marriot Hotel New Orleans. At
the time I was living in Kenner,La.,out by the New Orleans Airport.
Let’s call him Joe. Joe explained the many years earlier he was a student
at Tulane University and had called AA for some help. He said,” I showed up ,
took him to a meeting, bought him a Big Book, and talked to him for a
couple of hours about not drinking. Well, Joe was young and just not ready
for such changes so he continued on his present lifestyle. A few years later
when his life became more desperate he picked up the Big Book ,read it and
looked for an AA meeting. He said my phone number was written in the
inside cover of the Big Book . He felt that somehow I had helped him get on
the right path. He said,” I am visting New Orleans for a Doctor’s convention,
will you go to a meeting with me. We enjoyed the meeting and are still friends.
I know I only planted a few seeds back then but I was on cloud 9 for a short
time. Yes, I know that I did the right thing and it did help someone.Thank
You and remember you are not alone….Until Next Time John
