About me
I love to travel, and as a great blessing of sobriety, until the market crashed, was able to travel all over the world. BUT there are a lot of places in the world without meetings and people who can’t get to meetings so this is my attempt to help solve this problem. BUT I need your help.

I'm about 10 miles out. Cecil has the best location in town. But I've met all sorts of wonderful people and had a lot of fun. This is a great experience.

Hi Charlie - You are looking well. I haven't been on SF for a long time. I have just been lagging. I play scrabble on facebook and it takes all my time chatting with my friends on there. :-) I have been working a lot and still sober!!
I will be going on vacation in two weeks. I cannot wait. I will be going home - the Black Hills in South Dakota. I have my 25 year HS reunion, my 43rd birthday and Independence Day. I am going to participate in my first 5k run. Wish me luck.
Take care sir and peace to you.

CharlieGCharlieG on Saturday, 03 July 2010 06:48

Hi Charlie, congratulations on your anniversary. This evening I was sitting in a church basement (go figure) and a friend of yours walked in. Georgie, who got me to sign up here last year, is back in Northampton. She has finished her internship in Springfield, MA and will be going on another internship in August. The August one will be in your area so you will get to talk with her in person again. Frank E.
