We will be moving in the next few weeks to a new location. As soon as our plans are finalized I will post the new address and meeting times. It would be a good chance to participate in some service work!

“The unique ability of each AA to identify himself with, and bring recovery to, the newcomer in no way depends upon his learning, eloquence, or on any special individual skills. The only thing that matters is that he is an alcoholic who has found a key to sobriety.”

AA Co-Founder, Bill W., September 1952, “Tradition Five”, AA Grapevine (Reprinted in Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions)

“We have to grow or else deteriorate. For us, the ‘status quo’ can only be for today, never for tomorrow. Change we must; we cannot stand still.”

This is a very apt quote for us at the Open Door Club. We find ourselves looking for a new location. If anyone in Pampa, Texas knows of a church that may let us meet there or a cheap property for sale or rent, hopefully in a central location, please contact Mike at 806 664 0824.

“Because of what I learned in my home group -- to be on time, sit in the front row, thank the speaker, take commitments, pray and meditate -- I’m able to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers. It’s important for me to be connected to the love of giving back and the joy of helping others -- chips, cakes, Step work and lots of reaching out.”

“My understanding of a Higher Power is still subject to shifts. Sometimes, I think of it as The Unknowable, or as The Great What Is. Often, I envision it as an indifferent force, something like an electrical current, that is available to all living things and from which human beings can derive strength and generosity and acceptance. The one thing I feel sure of is that it’s more powerful than my will.”
