Subject: How to Stay Awake in AA Meetings - A Public Service Announcement

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings? What about those long and boring drunkalogs?
Here is a way to change all that...

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, prepare yourself by drawing a
square. I find that a
5" x5" is a good size.

Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give
you
25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following word/phrases in each block:
Such as:

Issues
Inner-child
living Amends
Meaningful Relationship
Slip
I'm Stuck On Step __
GOD Stuff (in any form)
I Couldn't Find A Meeting
My Sponsor Has Been Out Of Town
Can't
Won't
Yeah But
But Don't You Think
Misunderstood
Never
Rational Recovery
Recovering Person
Searching ( as in for answers)
Waiting For God to Answer......
Huh
Gonna (sometimes prefaced with: "I'm")
Been thinking (sometimes prefaced with: "I've")
She/He said
Dysfunctional
I heard
Rage
I don't know much about this, but...
Ya know
Overall Scheme Of Things

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words?
phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,
stand
up and shout "BULLSHIT!"

TESTIMONIALS FROM SATISFIED "AA BULLSHIT BINGO" PLAYERS:

--"I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won." Adam
W.,
Atlanta
--"My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically." David T.,
Tampa
--"What a gas! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first
win."
Dan J., NY City
--"The atmosphere was tense in the last "Honesty" meeting as 14 of us waited
for the fifth box. Ben G., Denver
--"The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed "BULLSHIT" for the
third time in 20 minutes."

5. The funniest thing I've ever read

Oh geez. I had to break out a new box of tissues, I was laughing so hard I cried. The "testimonials" just killed me.

Some days it's really hard not to take yourself too seriously. This helped ALOT.
