There we are. Thank you, Barbie. Hi, everybody. My name's Sandy Beach. I'm an alcoholic. I can't believe you're back for more. I would have been so sick of me by now. I'd be down getting pizza, peppies or something. It's just unbelievable. Anyway, again, congratulations to the Saturday Night Fever group on your first anniversary. It is really remarkable. That convention was remarkable. I've been around conventions for a long time, and no way are you supposed to be able to get that many people in your first year. I mean, I've watched it, and 200 maybe would be mind-blowing, but that turnout was just spectacular.

You like to study something about AA, and I just discovered this, and I'm doing a lot of thinking, so its website is Dr. Silkworth, you know, Silkworth.net. Silkworth threw a lot of net out to get alcoholics. Type in legal, and then you can start studying legalism versus spirituality in AA, and see what your conscience thinks about this issue. Which should control our actions? The legal right to do something, or is it spiritually correct? And I think you'll have a lot of fun as you wrestle with this, and it's just what they've always wanted, which is grassroots input into the entire service structure. So I hope you have fun with the issue. It is a wonderful one to sit and talk and discuss at the group level, so have fun with…
