In Case You Didn’t Know
“Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship” designed and administered by a bunch of ex-drunks whose only qualifications for membership is that they can’t hold their liquor and don’t want to learn how. It has no rules, dues or fees ~ no nothin’ that any sensible organization seems to require. At meetings, the speaker starts on one subject and end up talking about something completely different, concluding by saying, “I don’t really know anything about the program except that it works.”
The groups are always broke but always seem to have money; they are always losing members, but always seem to grow; they claim 𝓐𝓐 is a selfish program but always seem to be doing thing to help others. Every group passes laws, rules, edicts, and pronouncements which everyone blithely ignores.
Members who disagree with anything are privileged to walk out in a huff ~ only to return as if nothing happened and treated accordingly.
Nothing is planned more than 24 hours ahead ~ yet great projects are born and survive majestically. Nothing in 𝓐𝓐 is according to Hoyle ~ How can it survive? Perhaps it is because we have learned to live and let live, let go and let God and laugh at ourselves; God made man ~ He made laughter too. Perhaps He is pleased with our efforts and makes everything right no matter who pushes the wrong buttons. Maybe He is pleased not with our perfection but with our sincerity; maybe He is pleased because we are trying to be nobody but ourselves.
We don’t know how, but it works; and members keep showing up to get their dividend checks from their 𝓐𝓐 investment. IT’S SMART TO STAY SOBER
