The few Al-Anon meeting I've attended, I just keep my darn mouth shut and listened. I did me good to hear their stories.
I went to a Al-Anon convention meeting here once (probably 25 years ago) and actually got to hear a lady speak that knew Lois Wilson as a personal friend. She was of Italian heritage and man, did she ever have a powerful story - and it hit me right at home!
I hear you about the books, and carried mine everywhere - traveling a lot my first several years. Even took them to Germany on a business trip. The Daily Reflections and As Bill Sees It went with me into many restaurants to take the stress off at the end of my work days on the road. Hope I don't sound like I'm bragging, but my sponsor told me to do 90 meetings in 90 days at the very beginning and I was hell-bent to do it. I was traveling and actually did it, except for one day when I was flying.
That Service Manual referenced another book "Digest...of Policies" that probably one of my old-timer friends may have, but I would think this reference should do the job. Feels funny to refer to "old-timers", now that I'm 70, LOL.
