“Perhaps there is a better way - we think so. For we are now on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity. We never apologize to anyone for depending upon our Creator. We can laugh at those who think spirituality the way of weakness....

"We began to ask medical advice as the sprees got closer together. The alarming physical and mental symptoms, the deepening pall of remorse, depression and inferiority that settled down on our loved ones-these things terrified and distracted us. As animals on a treadmill, we have patiently and wearily climbed, falling back in exhaustion after each futile effort to reach solid ground. Most of us have entered the final stage with its commitment to health resorts, sanitariums, hospitals, and...

Tonight we celebrate the fifth Thursday of July 2020 with our special format. Three INCREDIBLE speakers on STEP 9.  Enjoy!

Homegrown Blake shares on:   “The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good. Most people try to live by self-propulsion.”

For those who were unable to attend, here is the Tradition and Concept 7 workshop. See you in august!

”Yet we had been seeing another kind of flight, a spiritual liberation from this world, people who rose above their problems. They said God made these things possible, and we only smiled. We had seen spiritual release, but liked to tell ourselves it wasn't true. Actually we were fooling ourselves, for deep down in every man, woman, and child, is the fundamental idea of God. It may be obscured by calamity, by pomp, by worship of other things, but in some form or other it is there. For faith in...

all the way from the UK!   “A certain American business man had ability, good sense, and high character. For years he had floundered from one sanitarium to another. He had consulted the best known American psychiatrists. Then he had gone to Europe, placing himself in the care of a celebrated physician (the psychiatrist, Dr. Jung) who prescribed for him. Though experience had made him skeptical, he finished his treatment with unusual confidence. His physical and mental condition were unusually...

This recording is specifically uploaded for those who missed the “a way out traditions and concepts workshop.”

Heather took it to another level! A Way Out celebrates our 3-year anniversary with our favorite speaker. It’s tradition!!  “Being convinced that self, manifested in various ways, was what had defeated us, we considered its common manifestations.”  

Kate shares on two passages from "We Agnostics"

Page 151: "Now and then a serious drinker, being dry at the moment says, "I don't miss it at all. Feel better. Work better. Having a better time." As ex-problem drinkers, we smile at such a sally. We know our friend is like a boy whistling in the dark to keep up his spirits. He fools himself. Inwardly he would give anything to take half a dozen drinks and get away with them. He will presently try the old game again, for he isn't happy about his sobriety. He cannot picture life without...

Normally we don't post the workshops online, however with the current state of things the need is there since not all the members could attend virtually this month. However, if you enjoy it, let us know! This month we briefly recap Tradition 4 and Concept 4, and go into detail in covering Tradition 5 and Concept 5 on the zoom platform. They are about 1 hour each for a total workshop of two hours.

” We had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics“

Page 86 ”Under these condi­tions we can employ our mental faculties with as­surance, for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.”

Zoom ID: 137 333 084 Thursdays 730 to 8:30 PM PST join us LIVE    “When we became alcoholics, crushed by a self imposed crisis we could not postpone or evade, we had to fearlessly face the proposition that either God is everything or else He is nothing. God either is, or He isn’t. What was our choice to be?” page 53

Jay describes his personal journey of how he formed a relationship and dependence upon God.
