Today a guy said, 'I didn't have a problem with alcohol. Its the judges and cops who seemed to have a problem with it.'

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
What witty things have you heard at AA?

My favorite (one to hate) is "Put a plug in the jug"
If I knew how to put a plug in the jug, I wouldn't need to sit around with a bunch of drunks. I needed to hear a solution. Thank goodness I found someone who showed me the solution.
This one really bugs me because it contradicts the big book. It implies we have the willpower to "put a plug in the jug".
But this is only my opinion.

I always like the one about the two ton telephone. Mine usually weighs that much. If it didn't, I would pick it up and make more phone calls, and get to know more people.

I think they're so good because they're inside jokes which we all 'get' once we learn to laugh at ourselves.

Someone told me about 13 Steppers tonight. She told me how her father changed a bit of the words on the 12th Step, and I was cracking up the rest of the night.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice (our penises) in all our affairs

I love AA. Been sober 35 years. But there are some funny things about it. Ever heard anyone say "the reason I quit drinking is because I kept breaking out in spots --- the county jail, mental wards, hospitals?"

Outside Eden, struggling toward Gethsemane
One of my favorites is:
If you live with one foot in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday you end up peaing (washed up from the acutal word used at the meeting) all over today.
