Heard at a Meeting

[Tim]

A guy in AA with a reputation for bad driving was responding to a rumor that he regularly ran red lights. "Yes, it is true that I've run a few red lights, but to keep things in balance I've also stopped at a lot of green lights."

Thanks for sharing that Tim!

A woman sharing her experience with the 2nd step:

"Once you realize you're cuckoo, you're halfway out of the clock!"

[Dallas]

Too cool!

. Before I came into AA, I called the home repair service to
come out and check my house for carbon monoxide poisoning. I just
KNEW that was why I was waking up every morning with such a bad
headache!"
.

AA is the only place where you can walk into a room full of strangers and reminisce.

[ccs]

"There are really only two things that I want from this program. I
want to be as well as I thought I was when I had 90 days of sobriety,
and I want to be able to take my own inventory as well as I take
everyone elses."

[ccs]

"My experience has been that when I am unwilling to ask for help, and
I insist that I can do it all myself, I'm just a drunk talking to a
crazy person."



I can relate ToTally

[ccs]

It's been my experience that I learn about tolerance when I hear
others being intolerant, I learn about humility from the arrogant, I
learn about gratitude from listening to the ungrateful, I learn about
sharing the solution when I hear others wallowing in the problem. TO
ME I sound so healthy until I realize that I am learning these things
because I am seeing my character defects and shortcomings reflected
in others . . .

... sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly!

[Dallas]

Ditto to that one! Thanks Cessie.
Just what I needed -- to be reminded.
