Sunday 8:00 P.M. Big Book Study Second sunday of month is speaker meeting Tuesday 8:00 P.M. Closed Discussion
Of Alcoholics Anonymous Morgan City, La.
Sometime around the mid 1990's while listening to a conversation between
Gerald O. and Dennis G., the idea for an early evening meeting came up.
(Both men due to health reasons needed an early non-smoking meeting.)
However nothing was done to organize or start this meeting until early
1998. During that time there was dissention in a long standing group in
the area, so a few members decided to start a new group with Gerald and
Dennis' idea. This was the beginning of The Quitting Time group. An organizational
meeting was held at the home of Ann G. Attending were Shari B.,
Trevor B., with Janice B. on the telephone and a Proxy from Bill Mc..
On Monday March 9, 1998 we held our first A.A. meeting at 5:30 PM. This
meeting was and still is a closed non-smoking meeting. Later we added
a 5:30 PM meeting on Thursday, then a meeting on Sunday at 8:00 PM a few
months later. About a year later we started a Big Book study on Wednesday
at 6:00 PM and the Thursday meeting was moved to 8:00 PM. Today we are
about 10 members strong and carrying A.A.'s message five times a week.
On March 1, 2005 we moved to our new location on Everett St. We made this
move to better carry the message to the suffering drunk. Although our
meeting schedule dropped to three meeting a week our group roster grew.
