"Repeating the 5th"
I shared my inventory with my sponsor tonight - I
think this is the fourth time I've done a 5th step in 20
years. I was raised in AA that, or at least I heard, we
do one 4th step and any other inventory is covered in
step 10 - this could bring about a ton of debate about
what's right or what's wrong, suffice to say I can't go
back and change any of that, and it worked for me....
until it didn't.
The first time was at my first treatment, they had me
fill out some booklet of questions about the worst
things I had done or something along those lines, I
didn't really understand it and when it was time to
share (Step 5) the religious minister/priest whatever
they had come listen to it with me wasn't all that
engaged with me. He said when I was done "Is that it?
Do you feel better now?" and that was my 5th step. I
didn't feel better, was still pretty confused and wasn't
at all comfortable with the robe wearing guy.
The second time at my second and it was likely
another worksheet like the one I did at the first, but I
honestly can't remember giving it to someone... I must
have, I think to successfully complete the program it's
required to do, but I have no memory of it at all.
I did work on my first 4th step from the Big Book of
Alcoholics Anonymous while I was still in, I remember
being very serious about it (I was serious, and mad
about everything) and I wrote furiously long list of
resentments and a few lines of fear and at that point
the total of my sex life was pretty limited to 4
people... but it was as thorough as I could be at the
time. When I had written and couldn't think of anyone
else that I hated, I told my sponsor I was ready.

and I read. The road had spiritual significance to him, but not
to me so much. I would read left to right, first column to
second, and then the third and he would sometimes ask me
questions and sometimes share some of his own experience. I
was feeling rather comfortable and then I shared something in
particular about sex with men and my sponsor blurted out...
"ARE YOU SAYING YOU"RE GAY?"
At the time it was the loudest sound in the world and I was a
little flabbergasted and stuttered and said "I don't know" and
that was the truth as I had it then. The blurting out stuck in my
head though, I never quite got over that and it added to the
tapes of prejudice that I still carried, and would for quite a
long while.
Besides that one little bump in the road, I shared as honestly
and as thoroughly as I could have that day based on the work I
had done discovering more about myself. It laid the
groundwork for me to change behaviors and repair the
wreckage of my past
Fast forward 19 years...
When my current sponsor suggested doing the steps again I
was hesitant, but I had been living in fear for a good long while
and it was starting to devour me, change me and had me
make some foolish decisions. So I was willing to go to any
lengths again, I was ready to do things ... anything to get set
right. I wrote out my

SRI Office Update – Central Office
Now to be fair, I began to see the pattern of my bad
behaviors and the people I had hurt in my life while
writing and began to see that I was a pretty sick
individual. Grudges that I had held on to forever,
vanished from the recordings in my head and I felt
better immensely - even before meeting with the
sponsor.

resentments, fears and sexual relations as honestly as I
could - I have a much bigger list now for the sexual
inventory, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I thought long and hard, I prayed and listened for
clearer pictures and put some people on my resentment
list I didn't expect to go there.
A while back I shared something with my current
sponsor that had crept out of a corner of my memory,
something I had hidden from myself and it frightened,
still frightens me. That was the hardest thing I've done
in quite a long while, seems silly doesn't it - sharing
something with another human being was the hardest
thing I've done. Ridiculous you say? I'm being honest, I
almost couldn't get it out and almost cried trying to get
it out... but once it was out I felt a huge load had left
and it wasn't as powerful as I had thought, sure it's still
there but now I can see it. I've seen light cast upon it
and know what it is and that it, like me, can be changed.
I throw that in here to let you know after that
experience with him, this 5th step was... I don't want to
say easy... comfortable, I felt like I could tell him
anything, anything at all and it wouldn't change how I
felt about him or he about me and that was pretty
comforting. Tonight I shared, as I did 19 years ago, the
exact nature of my wrongs as I understand them, and as
he's helped me to understand them better. Then I came
home, I sat quietly for an hour, reviewed the work I had
done and feel like I didn't skimp over anything, that my
foundation is strong... and I see myself a little clearer. I
have flaws, some more glaring and obtrusive than
others but I am fortunate to have a program that's
going to help me continue to grow and change to be a
better person.
We started my 5th step tonight by asking both of our
respective higher powers to join us and I asked mine to
please remove the fear - for me that's what I need
today to continue to grow. Solid steps, action, helping
others, cleaning house... now the real work can begin.
Tradition Five reminds me that when I am at a meeting,
I am not there to talk politics, work the crowd or even
play the perfect hostess. I am there to share my
experience, strength and hope about alcoholism. I also
learn from the experience of others, pull on their
strength and receive the hope I need to live with this
devastating disease.
Many meetings back, I was extremely grateful for this
tradition. I was visiting my family of origin and found
that while I was looking forward to seeing everyone,
some of my siblings planned on avoiding me. Why? As
far as I could tell, they believed I and many others like
me were responsible for the United States Political
turmoil. I was used to staying away from political
discussions with these same siblings; they are so
passionate in their views. What shocked me was how
much they blamed me directly; I was cut-off from the
family. One of my nieces even shared a meal with me
despite her father’s wishes. A couple of months later,
that same niece decided to have a small wedding with
just the parents and grandparents instead of the large
family one originally planned.
Still reeling from the banishment, I made sure to make a
meeting. As I walked in, I overheard some people
around the coffee table discussing the latest political
news. I was grateful it was a large facility, as I quickly
found a seat at one of the tables. I sat there looking
around at the signs on the wall, the Steps and
Traditions. As I came to Tradition Five, “Each group has
but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the
alcoholic who still suffers,” the folks that were getting
coffee sat down and introduced themselves. Being an
out-of-town visitor, I told them where I was from and
that I have a little over 11 years of sobriety. Sure
enough, all thoughts of politics were dropped as we
shared sobriety dates—an A.A. way of saying hello.
The meeting began and I felt right at home. I received a
warm welcome by all when they asked for any visitors.
The icing on the cake came after the meeting when
several members purposely sought me out and let me
know of their visits to Phoenix. I came away from the
meeting full of encouragement, strength and insights on
how others have dealt with similar issues. Yes, thank
God for Tradition Five it kept me from developing
resentments.

Pre-Conference Assembly
April 3-5, 2015 Tucson, Az.
You couldn’t have asked for a better weekend so I
thought. I left around 10 am, stopped off at the Omni
Resort and Spa to take in a round of magnificent golf.
Swing was great the course was in great condition even
after playing Host to the Tucson National.
I arrived at the Tucson City Center, which reminded me
of Section 8 housing, a huge complex with the
apartment style layout converted into a hotel.
Nevertheless, it was a place to have an assembly. I got
my registration package and went to my room. After
unpacking I went downstairs and fellowshipped.
I noticed that there was a giant tent in the middle of the
complex, I jokingly asked is the circus in town. No,
that’s where the assembly is going to be held seeing
how the hotel double booked… Got to love the folks in
Northern Nogales. Not to mention the Quinceanera, a
Hispanic coming of age party, that lasted for two days.
Fireworks, Bud Light, vomit, class act.
In the morning after the continental breakfast I went to
the tent to discuss our panel topics, and then it struck
me that although I was in a tent, I could come and go as
I pleased, a sort of gratitude attack you could say. It
was hard to hear what my panel was talking about, but
the panel right next to us I could hear perfect. We
finished our panel topic at 11:20am and then it was off
for some lunch.
At 1pm we started the business meeting in the cozy
confines of the tent, which was ok, until on several
occasions the breaker blew and we were without a
giant swamp cooler to cool the confines of the tent.
The Concepts short form was read from the person that
had traveled the furthest which Laughlin/Bullhead City.
The long form of the Traditions was read from a person
on the host committee.
The new GSR’s & Alt. GRS went to the mic and
introduced themselves. Then Past Delegates, as well as
the GSO Trustees from within the State.
SRI Newsletter—Phoenix, Scottsdale—P3
The Area officers gave their reports, as did the standing
Committee. The Panel chairs read their reports, and
then we went into new business.
*New Business: There was a motion to make the
Technology Coordinator to be added to the Admin.
Comm. As a voting member. The vote was 102 for 73
against, motion failed.
*The motion for the Delegate to take a
recommendation to the GSC (General Service
Conference) to consider a pamphlet on Group Safety;
was tabled.
*There are to motions that will be voted on at the Post
Conference Assembly next month in Mesa, May 16th a
one day assembly.
*There is a PRAASA Committee starting to form for
PRAASA 2015, it takes 5 years in planning an event of
this nature. The meeting adjourned at 5:15 pm.
Thank you for letting me be of service Doug Mattaino

9. Central Office Report.
Zoe said that we need to compile meeting lists, and that
people can stop by the central office during the week.
We also need help with phone training. She asked that
we send newcomers and sponsees. She added that we
are doing training on Friday afternoons from noon –
1:30. Zoe also went over page 14 of the agenda as the
page that intergroup members can use to inform their
home groups of current events.
1. Open Meeting and Serenity Prayer
Jonathan opened the meeting with Serenity Prayer at
7:01 pm.
2. Tradition and Concept Reading
Donna read the 3rd Tradition. Todd read the 3rd
Concept.
5. Previous Month’s Minutes – February
Because the central office accidentally inserted
February’s steering committee minutes instead of that
month’s intergroup minutes, Pete had to read the
previous intergroup meeting minutes out loud to the
intergroup. Jonathan had a question which Jamez
clarified. Melanie made a motion that we accept the
previous month's minutes, and Mattie seconded. Motion
passed.
6. Treasurer’s Report.
Jamez began by pointing out the increase in total
checking/savings in comparison to last year. An
intergroup member asked about the “A/D” aspect of
some of the budget entries and we explained it refers to
“accumulated depreciation.” Jamez then said it was an
error to hope to make a change to have more than four
months in prudent reserve. He made amends, and said
we will move that money to the general fund. Jamez
then said that the increase is due to prepaying for the
hosting of the website, window tinting, and other issues.
10. SRI Committee Report.
Filing Cabinet: Pete rose and explained the purpose of
the Filing Cabinet. He outlined various items that are
contained in each issue, and the types of articles that we
are looking for and ways to email submissions. He said
they are working on the April issue and that each issue
corresponds to that number step and tradition. He asked
for questions and also said he could answer questions at
the end of the meeting.
PI/CPC: Robert spoke about the purpose of this group
and what the letters stand for. He said the purpose of
this group is to inform other organizations who would
benefit from having information about alcoholism and
also interact with schools, libraries, treatment facilities,
police, and other intergroups here in the valley. He said

report from GSO and Mattie seconded. Carol made a
motion that we call the question. Motion then passed.
the group meets at the central office on the fourth
Tuesday at 6:30 pm. He added that this committee exists
to serve entities in the valley who would benefit from
knowing more about our fellowship.
TAS: Zoe covered this info during the central office
report.
Archives: Doug said he also working with Sandy on
adding the holiday speakers on the SRI website, and the
Sedona speaker for the Summer Roundup. He is working
on getting a speaker from PRAASA and will record
Anniversary speakers on the website.
SNAC: Neal rose and said that we are now meeting on
the 4th Saturday at 10am. This committee did not meet
last month so there is nothing to report.
Finance: Jonathan said that Jamez and he would meet on
an April 1 in the evening. Their goal is to meet quarterly
and they want to meet early in April. They will have
more info next month.
Unity: Pete defined the purpose of the Unity Committee.
Pete said the goal is to maximize the representation of
groups in the district in terms of their having GSR’s and
intergroup reps. But he said the initial goal is to verify
that meetings listed in the meeting lists booklet are
actually happening. He said they are in the early stages
of planning their approach this year and that he will have
more information the next intergroup meeting. He
mentioned that Jonathan felt that we are all part of the
Unity Committee.
Literature Committee: Pete had volunteered to make
this announcement for Zoe. He explained which books
are under consideration and had the members write
down the titles of each book. An intergroup member
asked why we are considering selling non-conference
approved literature. Pete explained that we have spent
significant time examining this issue, and based on
feedback we have received from the intergroup we feel
it would be in our best interest to also sell nonconference approved literature.
General Service: Doug said he went to PRAASA last
weekend in Utah and said while there he ran a panel and
was the monitor for all groups in the pacific region.
Shawna made a motion that the intergroup rep make a
11. Event Committee Liaisons:
Anniversary: Chris said he is chair of the 72nd Anniversary
of AA in the valley. He said the suggested donation is $5.

we still need a ninth steering committee member. He

needs grapevine donations. H&I Valley wide makes
donations to H&I, the meeting is after the next
intergroup meeting. He then listed various meetings that
need help taking meetings in. He invited us to take this
info to others regarding meetings that need H&I help. He
then gave his number to us also. Mattie asked if he could
print a flier next time to hand out to IG members so we
