I can now place myself in the large group of people who have had the privlige to hear a very special woman speak tonight. Her name is Liz Bailey and she is a remarkable woman who's been sober for 56 years. She goes all over North America to speak at AA meetings. If any of you have an opportunity to hear her, TAKE IT! She is amazing. She's 87 years old and has a wonderful story to tell. She touched me tonight as I'm sure she's touched millions before me and I know she'll continue to do so. If you've had the honor to hear her speak, you know how blessed I know I am tonight. She was flown in from NY to speak at a very special birthday meeting tonight. This man has 57 years of soberiety. I only pray that my Michael will celebrate that number one day.
I have other things to say, but this isn't the time or topic to put them under.
