OLDIES BUT GOODIES

The speaker at the Convention’s big meeting walked up to the podium, looked out at the stadium full of people and said, “My heart is beating, my knees are weak and my stomach is in knots. I used to pay a lot of money for this feeling.”

—Christine H., Mich., March 2012

MEETINGS IN HELL

I don’t know whether there is a heaven or hell, but I am certain that if there is, there will be AA meetings in both places. The only difference will be that in hell, there will be advice-giving and cross talk!

DREAM ON

I was at my Tuesday men’s stag meeting celebrating my AA birthday with my wife recently. While we were waiting for the cake to be brought out, I turned to her and said, “Honey, did you ever in your wildest dreams think you’d be standing here helping me celebrate 48 years of sobriety?”

She turned to me and said, “Bruce, let me tell you something. You’re not in my wildest dreams!”
