Higher Power, I know I'll never understand everything, but will you please teach me something interesting today? Thank You. ~Hazelden meditation

Today I am grateful...
  • that, wow, I could have had a V-8...except I can’t abide anything with tomato juice in it
  • for treasure trails seen under the edge of tee shirts
  • to be conscious enough today to pay attention
  • for k d lang’s ‘Constant Craving’ and that my constant craving is gone
  • that it's another Monday, and if we are sober then we are on a level playing field

With characteristic intemperance, however, some of our newcomers cared not at all for secrecy. They wanted to shout A.A. from the housetops, and did. Alcoholics barely dry rushed about bright-eyed, buttonholing anyone who would listen to their stories. Others hurried to place themselves before microphones and cameras. Sometimes, they got distressingly drunk and let their groups down with a bang. They had changed from A.A. members into A.A. show-offs. ~12&12

I muchly dislike tomato juice as well. But mainly, I am wondering if you will provide us with a detailed explanation of the origin of the term treasure trails.

Scott W said...

Sorry, Dave, I don't know the origin. It usually starts on the chest or belly and decends. hehe

I've never heard the term treasure trail.
I have however seen a few trails and the "treasure" in my opionion is highly over rated.
I like to keep my "treasure" in the back of my slip drawer, to the left next to the batteries.
hee hee

AA showoffs. I know a few of those. Thanks for the reminder that the ego needs to be checked at the door.
