Fuzziealum, I totally hear you. Usually I don't see my goals fail but the successes are generally at the expense of my mental health.

It is good to hear from those who are experienced with this to take it slow. So I will definitely reevaluate my plans or at least give myself more time to accomplish these goals.
Tom, how many members will come to your monthly meetings? How large an alumni association are you in charge of? The reason I ask is because the undertaking of trying to build a new house is huge, so I wonder, how long did it take your AA to get to that level? That is awesome that you are trying to build a new house, so I can totally see how that would require a huge commitment on the part of your AA.
THANKS for the advice!!
