I. Is that a motion and a second

Bob,

I was crying in my beer and I had no ideal what AA was, I thought you
guys were going to tell me how to control my drinking,

Now that I'm sober and I'm a member of AA, I suppose deleting this
group is the best thing to do ?

I reached out to AA because I didn't know what else to do, I wanted to
kill myself at that time.

I didn't think what I did was going to be label me as doing something
reprehensible.

But reaching out to AA only to be labled has doing something
reprehensible, really hurts me... I didn't do anything wrong.

You can read here: 
http://groups.google.ca/group/alcoholicsanonymous/browse_frm/month/2004-11?hl=en
how this group started, I asked for help.

In the last 7 years or so, every single moderator banned you from this
group Bob, I guess everyone is wrong and you're right.

If you guys want me to delete this group, then just let me know and
I'll do it.
