Funny how people in NA want to get clean,
provided they don't have to believe, think, say, or do anything different in their lives. Funny how we cannot fit a meeting into our busy lives, but can schedule social events at a moment's notice. Funny how people scramble to get a front seat at any game, but scramble to get a back seat at a meeting. Funny how long an hour spent at a meeting is, but how short two hours are watching a movie. Funny how we get thrilled when a football game goes into overtime,but we complain when a meeting goes over the regular time. Funny how a $5.00 bill looks so big in the basket at a meeting, but so small when you take it to any store. Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Basic Text, and how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel. Funny how much we believe what newspapers say, but question so much about our program of recovery. Funny how simple it is for some people to explain about how you should be working the program,but how difficult it is for them to practice it in their own lives. Funny how long an hour performing service work seems and how short 60 minutes spent fishing, playing golf or bridge are. Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, yet have no difficulty thinking of things to talk about at a meeting. Funny, isn't it? |
