DESCRIPTION:“A Safe and Supportive Path to Sobriety” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n 'The Men's Home provides a home-like environment for alcoholics who are
sincere in wanting to recover from alcoholism' \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What
we are talking about in March \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Step 3“Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care
of God as we understood him.”AA is no success story in the ordinary sense
of the word. It is a story of suffering transmuted\, under grace\, into s
piritual progress.As Bill Sees It\; page 35. Practicing Step Three is like
the opening of a door which to all appearances is still closed and locked
. All we need is a key\, and the decision to swing the door open. There is
only one key\, and it is called willingness. Once unlocked by willingness
\, the door opens almost of itself\, and looking through it\, we shall see
a pathway beside which is an inscription. It reads: “This is the way to a
faith that works”.Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions\; page 34. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The essence of all growth is a willingness to make a chang
e for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever
responsibility this entails.— AS BILL SEES IT\, p. 115 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Power is a matter of choice. Call It what we will. Naming It is unimportan
t. The important thing is that we believe in It\, that we use It to restor
e us to mental health and fitness.'\nThe Little Red Book\, page 24 \n\n'Th
e minute I stopped arguing\, I could begin to see and feel. Step 2 gently
and very gradually began to infiltrate my life. I can't say upon what occa
sion or upon what day I came to believe in a Power greater than myself\, b
ut I certainly have that belief now. To acquire it\, I had only to stop fi

was a gourmet’s delight thanks to Chef Jonathan Till’s wonderful and uniq

with old friends and made new ones. Special thanks to Brian M. and Darrel

hil for their generosity in allowing us to stage SOBERFEAST in “The Blue R

DESCRIPTION:“A Safe and Supportive Path to Sobriety” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n 'The Men's Home provides a home-like environment for alcoholics who are
sincere in wanting to recover from alcoholism' \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What
we are talking about in March \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n \n Step 3“Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care
of God as we understood him.”AA is no success story in the ordinary sense
of the word. It is a story of suffering transmuted\, under grace\, into s
piritual progress.As Bill Sees It\; page 35. Practicing Step Three is like
the opening of a door which to all appearances is still closed and locked
. All we need is a key\, and the decision to swing the door open. There is
only one key\, and it is called willingness. Once unlocked by willingness
\, the door opens almost of itself\, and looking through it\, we shall see
a pathway beside which is an inscription. It reads: “This is the way to a
faith that works”.Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions\; page 34. \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The essence of all growth is a willingness to make a chang
e for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever
responsibility this entails.— AS BILL SEES IT\, p. 115 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

ista of new hope\, when based on willingness and faith. What we call this
Power is a matter of choice. Call It what we will. Naming It is unimportan
t. The important thing is that we believe in It\, that we use It to restor
e us to mental health and fitness.'\nThe Little Red Book\, page 24 \n\n'Th
e minute I stopped arguing\, I could begin to see and feel. Step 2 gently
and very gradually began to infiltrate my life. I can't say upon what occa
sion or upon what day I came to believe in a Power greater than myself\, b
ut I certainly have that belief now. To acquire it\, I had only to stop fi
ghting and practice the rest of A.A.'s program as enthusiastically as I co
uld.'\n Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions\, page 27. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n

was a gourmet’s delight thanks to Chef Jonathan Till’s wonderful and uniq

of Chef Jonathan’s creations. A team of volunteers from the extended Men’

with old friends and made new ones. Special thanks to Brian M. and Darrel

ST a reality.We also want to send our humble thanks to Brian Hoysa and Jes
sica Giovannucci of The Old Town Community Church and of course\, Pastor P
hil for their generosity in allowing us to stage SOBERFEAST in “The Blue R
