“The 12 Steps are like 12 wrenches…they will fit any nut who walks through the door.”
“If you’re wrapped up in self you make a very small package."
The discussion topic was “half measures avail us nothing” and one member was listing all the reservations he had about the AA program and sobriety. An old-timer piped up and said, “with that many reservations you are bound to soon take a flight.”
“The slogans are the banisters to the 12 Steps.”
“The 12 Steps keep us from suicide. The 12 Traditions keep us from homicide !”
A warning to newcomers in AA: “If you’re looking for a relationship in AA odds are good you’ll find one. But beware…it often follows that the goods will be odd.”
“An alcoholic is an individual who takes the most simple program and works on it until he has eventually reduced it to its most complicated form.”
“We didn’t get to AA by singing too loud in church.”

I recently told off the guy at the tanning salon for telling me that someone told him the odds were good he could find a woman in AA, but that the goods would be odd. I came UNGLUED over that.
I always hated the "half measures avail us nothing"...cuz I am a 1/2 ass kind of girl. I have always liked doing things 1/2 ass. But...sigh...not in this program.
I had great odds at finding a woman in AA. Truth be told, the goods were odd.
The preceding comments are oddly good.
Okay, here I am today looking at this post from the past. But when I noticed today that I had missed this post yesterday, I made plans to visit it in the immediate future. Now that I'm here, the future is still ahead of me. But a moment ago, this was the future.
This is like an out-of-body experience. I'm exhausted. I'm going to take a nap before my head explodes.
First, though, I'm going to jot down the things in this post to use in the future. Ack!!!
