I can remember those who would get other AA'ers to help with their projects and to do things for them, all for free. One lady actually got $5000 from a fellow to have dental work done. None of it was repaid. I find such things unconscionable and definitely not part of the steps or traditions. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I think of you often.

I was thinking of just treating it the same way I deal with 13th stepping sexual predators.. I do not announce it in meetings, but I try to warn people who I think the sexual predator will pick on. Rich people are much easier because there are fewer of them than the vulnerable women.. so I think it will be fairly easy. I am already making inroads into informing other trusted aa members of this activity.. I tend not to feel burdened by the 13th stepping I see, so I'm guessing that the financial 13 stepping will bother me about the same as the regular 13th stepping.. but we shall see. Word is getting out over here about this activity so that is the main thing. the gig has been busted to some extent.. :)An Irish Friend of Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781376087404079818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29205162.post-69807066524136152432016-03-19T15:03:20.763+00:002016-03-19T15:03:20.763+00:00It is good you are back.

This may turn them off to the program thinking they are being targeted. No one comes to the program by accident even if their intentions aren't honorable they are there for a reason. Maybe a group conscious is in order so you won't feel burdened. Grace-WorkinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386539822343069884noreply@blogger.com
