3. I've never even heard of "recruiting" people into AA.
Must be the thirteenth step! :evilgrin:

5. No, the thirteenth step is called "injecting sobriety"

10. No, Thank You! How about snorting?
I swore in fifth grade to never inject anything!

Smoke, swallow, snort anything, but never inject.

Can I snort sobriety?

:P

6. That's okay. You've done a more than exemplar job recruiting children to the gay lifestyle.
so it all evens out.

11. Not at all! You just stay there outside the elementary school,
and let another good fascist socialist anti-corporate communist libertarian values-hating liberal handle the AA stuff.

24. I don't get it either. I helps a lot of people.
It may not be for everyone, but so what. Apparently it works for a lot of people.

15. Christ. Did I start this?
I'm sorry. Some people. :eyes:

A long time ago, I attended AA meetings for about a year because I had a problem. Just going to the meetings helped. I think it's a good organization.

18. No, Bertha, this is one that brews beneath the surface
and erupts periodically.

Usually it coincides rather closely with the DU fund drives actually.

Not your fault at all.

21. Me too, and me neither.
One of the "big things" of AA was the statement that "we didn't ask you to come here - you picked us!"
Did that change?

23. I'm also an AA member, but not that one.
I belong to the Ancient Aviators of South Alabama.
We're a bunch of old fart pilots who gather once a month to swap stories, etc.

A few days ago a friend invited us to brunch.
Miz t. said "trof can't make it that morning. That's his AA meeting."
"Oh..."
"rofl"
