I took a Service Position recently at my Saturday meeting.  My job is to call the person who is chairing the meeting the night before to remind them.

Well, my job started this month and I happen to be out of town - but I made sure to send myself an e-mail to remind me to call the people (one of them is the regular meeting and the other is a new meeting that is starting today for New Comers).  Anyway, I never got the e-mail, so I totally spaced calling the two people last night. 

Yesterday I went to the beach with my family and brought my daily readers, but never got around to reading them.  I've been feeling out of sorts, so I decided to go outside this morning for some alone time and read yesterday's and today's from ODAT in Al-Anon and Courage to Change.  Well wouldn't you know it?  Yesterday's topic from Courage to Change was about New Comers and it totally reminded me that I needed to make those phone calls.  If I had read it yesterday I would have remembered to call these people.  So I'm going to try to call them this morning - I hope it's not too late.  I feel so silly that I screwed up my first service position, but I had to laugh at the way I figured it all out.

I'm in NJ visiting, and live in AZ, so there's a 3-hour time difference.  I think I'll give them a call within the next hour to remind them that they're chairing the meetings today.

Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe 4th of July today!!!

Doesn't our HP take care of us if we're taking care of ourselves! That's what I thought when I read your post. He was there to remind you of the calls through the daily reading of al-anon literature. I know I have fallen short many times of his expectations of me, so your not alone, N8SMOM, I have a new service position too. To type the daily readings of the day in ODAAT or C2C on the message board. I did my first one today. If I had started yesterday, you could have been reminded that way too! lol

Love in Recovery,

Overcome
