I Could Have Missed All This [Season 9, Episode 11]

I Could Have Missed All This [Season 9, Episode 11]

Penny was drinking in dive bars and alone at home mostly, but after being pulled off the field at a softball game, she called AA "for a friend." She tells Don and Sam how she was told to approach the first woman she saw at the meeting and tell her she's a newcomer. Instead, she approached a woman crying, and woman said, "oh, you're a newcomer." The three also talk about the early days of online meetings. There's Listener Feedback on politics in AA from Dan, John, Don, Cindy and Mary Ellen, and on religion and AA from Joe. Snow shares her love for the Grapevine, and there's a bonus section at the end with letters from Nathan, Paz and Mick.
