  A.A. Bingo
My mother-in-law sent me the "game" below as an E-mail. It is very judgemental but, I must admit it made me laugh at least at myself.

DO YOU GO TO SLEEP IN AA MEETINGS? THEN PLAY
Do you keep falling asleep in meetings? What about those long and boring using stories? Get tired of the same old Slogan.. Babble, or members who continue to deal with the same problems, same defects, and same painful relationships...FOR YEARS?

Here's a way to change all that..

Before your next meeting, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find> that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch squares.

Write one of the following word/phrases in each square:

  1. I Have Issues With ______.
  2. My Inner-Child...
  3. I Thought I Could Just Read Them Off The Wall, And That Was Enough.
  4. Meaningful Relationship
  5. It was just a small slip
  6. I'm Stuck On Step ____.
  7. I don't Really Believe In The Steps.
  8. Couldn't Find A Meeting
  9. My Sponsor Has Been Out Of Town
  10. I Don't Need A Sponsor
  11. Can't Change
  12. Won't Change
  13. Yeah But...
  14. Oh, The Pain!
  15. But, You Don't Understand
  16. I am just Misunderstood
  17. I'll Never Do ______.
  18. Rational Recovery Anything
  19. I am serching for the answers
  20. I'm Going To Do It Tomorrow.
  21. I've Been Thinking About Doing It Tomorrow
  22. But It Was Only Non-Alcoholic Beer
  23. I Know What It Is I Need To Do But
  24. Dysfunctional ANYTHING
  25. ALL YOUR FAVORITES SHOULD BE ADDED HERE__________________.

Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of the words or phrases mentioned in the meeting. When you have checked off five consecutive boxes either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout BULLSHIT!"
