I think they use the same book but I'm not entirely sure. The meetings times are odd here too, which is strange because we have over 400 meetings a week for AA. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!! I'd recommend that you both get sponsors, you a woman and he a guy, someone who's sober for some time and has worked the steps and has a sponsor. Sponsors are invaluable support. I just met with mine this passed Sunday, to do a yearly inventory since I'm coming up on an anniversary. She remembers all the things I've gone through in sobriety and how much I've changed.

There's a section in the bigbook "To the Wives" that is really great to read. Its directed towards those who love an alcoholic.

Congrats on your recovery!! I love to hear your excitiment about it. You remind me so much of me when I was newly sober. Keep up the good work!!!
