A former stripper, the head of a securities compliance firm, a lady who toured with the Who, a senior partner at a major law firm, a singer, a fitness model, a former model who just went back to college, a university professor, a city-employed gardener, an international architect, a well-known interior designer, a CNN intern, a legal recruiter and me…
…all having dinner, and all having a blast.
These are just some of the people from my main morning AA group in NYC. In some ways, these people know me better than my family. And I, them.
We were gathered together for a surprise party to celebrate one of our members’ 20th year sober. She’s a graceful, gorgeous, super-smart woman who will help anybody, at any time. She was genuinely surprised by the dinner.
Looking around the table, I was truly and wonderfully touched by group’s purity of communication. There was no agenda, no sense of clique. We were just an eclectic group of people, brought together by a common problem, celebrating one of our own.
Nice.
Love to all. Even you, the person who should have been with us, but hasn't found their way.

Was there any flirting - as the female commenters here have indicated? I'm surprised your wife allowed you go :P
Your comment couldn't be more appropriate. See the next post.
:-)
I just wish we could all have belong to a group that gives that kind of honesty, connection and acceptance. Wouldn't that be a better world. We would all feel so grounded!
Damnit, I hate your love to all things at the end.
No, I mean I love them.
I haven't been by in a while, and I'm finding myself having to comment on almost every single post. Where have I been?
