MEETINGS IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS, ESH AND ESP, FOR WE ARE NOT A GLUM LOT

A meeting of the minds, if so inclined, with memories of habits that drove us insane. A free exchange of facts, that transform, reshape and implications that engage thoughts that there is a better way.

A.A. Meetings are a cross between a self-help program, group therapy and a revival meeting.

Meeting formats and procedure are as diverse as there are groups. I have been to meetings all over most of these United States and some foreign countries including Mississippi.
