In the big book, Bill writes, “Therefore, we started upon a personal inventory. This was Step Four. A business which takes no regular inventory usually goes...
If a man is ever given cause to start to think too well of himself during the inventory process, he STOPS the process. I have seen it happen. The prospect that...

Another way to look at is it this: Suppose I am NOT an alcoholic. Suppose I am just a fool with "self destructive" behaviors. Suppose I am really maladjusted...
gadzooks - hate to say this but last week we sat through a drugalog at our women's AA meeting - and because I was lax in my primary purpose responsibilities I...
I don't think I've said "gadzooks" since I last said "egads." You ladies may want to consider hiring a man to keep your meetings flowing properly. :) Our group...
