AA's Declaration of Unity
This We Owe to AA's future-
This We Owe to AA's future-
'to place our common welfare first;
To keep our Fellowship united,
For on A.A. unity depends our lives,
and the lives of those to come'.
To keep our Fellowship united,
For on A.A. unity depends our lives,
and the lives of those to come'.
|...AA is not fun and games, boys and girls. Every day somebody in that clubhouse is fighting for their life. Alcoholics Anonymous is a deadly serious business. Maybe we can save the fun and games for after we save a few lives?
If you are not fighting for your life, perhaps you can at least try to exercise a little basic human courtesy, sit still and be quiet while others seeking to save their lives can listen for a message of depth and weigh?. You know - the real alcoholics seeking recovery from - that's right, alcoholism - the reason we're in that room in the first place, by the way.
There's no shame in embracing mediocrity; that is your right. However, when your behavior endangers other peoples lives, you have my full and certain attention. We have 15 meetings left together, and I for one shall have my game face on. Allowing 'older' members of AA to endanger newcomers lacks a certain rectitude; well, that is both atrocious and easily addressed. Nothing humbles like humiliation.
God created the world in six days - I think a certain table can be rounded in much less time than that by a mere mortal. This one is going to be so easy to rectify we shall address this and pick up yardage.
There is an old newspaper adage that comes to mind:
Are we having fun yet?
