the one I like is the joke about the new comer telling another aa member that they are having problems with their sexual instincts and fancy all the other members of AA and want to 13 step them, they just can not resist the urge and chat them all up, but he knows he is wrong . What does he do?
He asks for advice and admits his problem. The more experienced aa member says "just read page 69 that will help"
of course the alcoholic mishead him and goes to the big book and instead of reading the advice intended on page 69 he reads page 96.
(you have to look at the big book for it to make sense)
"Do not be discouraged if your prospect does not respond at once. Search out another alcoholic and try again. You are sure to find someone desperate enough to accept with eagerness what you offer. We find it a waste of time to keep chasing a man who cannot or will not work with you. If you leave such a person alone, he may soon become convinced that he cannot recover by himself. To spend too much time on any one situation is to deny some other alcoholic an opportunity to live and be happy. One of our Fellowship failed entirely with his first half dozen prospects. He often says that if he had continued to work on them, he might have deprived many others, who have since recovered, of their chance."
, toni? how do you get the smileys to be bigger?
