Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all our activities. ∼Alcoholics Anonymous P 85

The “20/20 vision plan:” There is a simple vision plan we tell newcomers about when they are having a difficult time “seeing” what our program is all about. If they wonder why we have another 12-step program, why they need Steps, or why they need to share, we can suggest the 20/20 plan. We tell them, “Come to the meetings twenty minutes before they start, and stay twenty minutes after they are over to SEE what happens.” In fact, this plan is also useful for old-timers who are having difficulty “seeing” why they need to keep going to meetings. This 20/20 vision plan is so simple, and yet, it never fails to give us a brand new perspective on our program, as well as our role within the Fellowship.
