Reference the Spring, 2008 Newsletter from the CHIPS Group in Frankfort,
Kentucky. First of all, I have never seen in the 33 years I have been in AA a more excellent newsletter than this one. The website: www.ourspecial.net/chips is exquisite! Very professionally done. Thanks, Mike. The Newsletter feature article, “Serenity as it is for me” by Lynne N. is a wonderful, well-written article, that I am sure was as beneficial to all readers as it was for me. Thanks, Lynne for sharing. I wish to answer Lynn’s question: “Have you ever asked God for help with a problem and found the response to be empty silence?” My answer to the above question is, “yes”. I would like to pose a different question: “Have you ever asked God for help with a problem and received an audible answer? I have. Twice. I was alone both times. I have often wished some other human being, or a tape recorder would have been recording at the time. And, I have often asked, “Would that person who was with me have heard what I heard? Or, would the tape recorder have recorded what I heard? If I had never had this experience I would not believe anyone who told me they heard God speak to them – audibly– as God spoke to me. So, I am not trying to convince anyone of my experience. I finally got up enough courage to share these two experiences with my wife, who has never been “religious” or a “church goer”. She is not an alcoholic nor has she ever used drugs other than prescribed by a medical doctor. I expected her to say something like: “I believe you “believe” what you told me, but if I had been with you at the time, I don’t believe I would have heard anything. To my great surprise, my wife said, “God has audibly spoken to me, also. I believe you.” I was shocked! We had been married for over 30 years. I have been sober for over 20 years. She was an active member of Alanon and I had been an active member of AA for many years. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I just felt like sharing my experience. I would like to hear from others who are convienced God has audibly spoken to them. John S. |

Well if you missed the annual "Celebration of Sobriety" sorry 'bout your luck. The youngsters did an excellent job performing and cooking ...yum yum! We are so lucky to have people who appreciate us "old timers" and the sober way of living they are taught. Life is full and they are excited to be a part of AA. I personally look forward to next year. Also great to see that their families participate. wyldthang |

I first came to AA in 1992... just hated the GOD concept. GOD, I felt, was a source of my problems. Try as I would, I just didn't "get it". After a 5 year tour on the streets, I returned tail tucked under and wimpering. "HELP ME!!" I asked, and they loved me until I could learn to live by certain principles and find GOD. I didn't believe that AA would work. I saw people that were still there even though I'd been out there 5 years. Well Duh!! I saw God and the program working in their lives..., I figured, what the heck, and someone told me, "Try it for a year, and if your life doesn't change, and you don't find out some important things about yourself, we will refund your misery... and they will still be making alcohol." I knew to continue on "my "way was certain death. Luckily God lead me to an understanding sponsor. Her wisdom and gentleness has shown me great compassion for the suffering alcoholic. A new way to live, with honesty, open mindedness, and a mustard seed of willingness, my life is nothing like it used to be. God is LOVE. I am still striving for the quality sobriety everyday. The program works now some 10 years later. If it didn't, I wouldn't still be here. I tried it... and remain true to it's principles today. Lynne N. |

Ghosts,Goblins, an "Old Man " or Two, heehee. The Halloween Party was a fun way for families to gather and the food was excellent!! Prizes were awarded for several catagories and all enjoyed themselves laughing at each other. The special events are open to all who want to participate, ...and Boy! Do we still know how to party! If you are still suffering from 5th wheel syndrome, come join us for the next event and become a part of the growing AA family , we guarantee you will have fun and get to know some good people in recovery. Gotta become a part "of" someday... might as well start with the next event, these things get easier, the more you participate. Lynne N. |

Another good excuse "I need to be with my children". (Like all the time we spent with them when we were drinking.) Besides, we do have coloring books out front. happypants. |

| The Bridge Street Token Club, Adjuncts, and Events | ||||||||||||||||

The
Bridge Street Token Club hosts several adjunct group entities and events, in addition to the CHIPS Group of Alcoholics Anonymous. Among these are the New Hope Group of Al-Anon, and various District, Area , and other recovery related meetings and seminars. The facilities are leased from the BSTC by the various entities, and the BSTC is not directly affiliated with any of the 'groups'. The Facilities are often used by BSTC members for various personal reasons, and certain events possibly referenced in the pages relate to those entities or personalities, and not to the CHIPS Group. They are on-site because of the interests expressed by members of CHIPS and adjunct entities. From time to time, events held by sub-groups of members, whether public or private, may be construed as a CHIPS Group function, even though such association is purely coincidental, and the actual entity hosting or sponsoring such event is the Bridge Street Token Club, or BSTC member. |

| Traditions 4 and 10: Each A.A. group is autonomous and has its own group conscience. We may do as we choose. However, an external site may start to display information which our group conscience finds objectionable or controversial, or express personal opinions not necessarily those of the CHIPS Group as an entity. Tradition 6: Direct linking to some sources might imply endorsement, if not affiliation, regardless of the contents. As suggested by G.S.O. we have attempted to avoid some of these implications by incorporating mandatory exits and a disclaimer within many exits. | ||||||||||||||||
