Sober living with Jesus

Rent a Sponsor An old one... but still very funny; actually it's a little sad at the same time, since there's people I know that would probably go for this service!

So I just got around to checking out the digital version of the Grapevine magazine.  I have been a subscriber to the audio edition for some time now and the printed edition over the years, as well. After checking it out, I emailed customer service with one important question: can I download the issues to my laptop’s hard drive for offline reading or do I have to view it solely on the Web?  I subscribe to PC World magazine and also get a couple of digital newspapers – in each case I can download them to the machine I wish to read them on for offline use.  One newspaper even allowed me the option of downloading it to my Kindle.  I saw no such choice with the Grapevine and am hoping that’s just a feature I don’t see because I haven’t opted for the actual subscription yet.  I’ll let you know what the answer is when my query is satisfied. By the way, even if the answer turns out to be the “no” I suspect it will be, I will continue to get the audio version of the Grapevine.  For 20 bucks

From the forward to the book Alcoholics Anonymous : To show other alcoholics PRECISELY HOW WE HAVE RECOVERED is the main purpose of this book. I looked up the dictionary definition to the word precisely and found it to mean “indicating exactness…” That doesn’t leave much wiggle room, to be sure! That’s why I love to read the book and follow its directions as closely to the letter as possible. A good way to get to know the book is through regular attendance at a Big Book study meeting. With the profusion of reading material available to me in any given day via my Kindle or some Web site, it’s easy to overlook the Big Book or tell myself that “I’ll get to it later,” when in fact, I often won’t. A great resource for Big Book study is (and I hate to say it, but it’s not an A.A. site) anonpress.org – there you can order their study edition Big Books and also download an electronic version of the book for little to no cost, depending on the edition you prefer.
