JAN 27, 22 .. OUR HOUSE .. LAKE HAVASU CITY, ARIZONA

 Meeting Makers Make It ..

Time and time and yes, time again, we hear the same story..

"Why did you relapse?" .. "I stopped going to meetings!"

Individually we need meetings and the fellowship of A.A.

Human beings have, or don't have, chemistry with one another. This human chemistry or social chemistry is difficult, if not impossible, to define or to predict. It is or it isn't. 

And?

The same applies to A.A. meetings and to our chemistry within the fellowship with other members. 

If anyone thinks that they have good human chemistry and love all of their fellow A.A. members, I will quote Doctor Robert Holbrook Smith, aka Doctor Bob, our A.A. cofounder who said : "If you love everyone in A.A. you have not been going to enough meetings!"

We hear this suggestion : Attend 90 A.A. meetings in 90 days.

However I seldom hear people making this recommendation say why! 

In my opinon we go to 90 meetings in 90 days to find a meeting room and a meeting format with members that we feel comfortable with at a time of day that suits us.

In other words, we want to have that undefinable chemistry we all seek.

OUR HOUSE .. LAKE HAVASU  CITY, AZ

I have been to (live and in person NOT zoom) meetings in each and every state in the United States. I did this beginning in August of 1988 and finished in November of 1992 in Hawaii.

OUR HOUSE, a meeting room here in Lake Havasu City, in my opinion, has an incredible, warm and welcoming atmosphere or chemistry. It seems the members who attend are other members who feel as I do, they being warm and welcoming.

See what you think. The below building houses Our House.


Meetings seven days a week, 7am / noon / 5 pm.


Into Our House we go.
