Didn't know that this discussion would get so heated. At least I put my hat in the ring.

This is a very good blog. I like reading this sort of teaching post. I agree with your notion, there is no such word as sponsee.

Comment on A Selfish Program?

The "preconference" pamphlet available from Akron titled "A Manual for Alcoholics Anonymous" published in 1941 at the request of Dr. Bob reads:

"[The alcoholic calling on you] is selfish in that by calling on you he is taking out a little more 'sobriety insurance' for himself; and secondly he is genuinely anxious to pass along the peace and happiness a new way of life has brought to him."

Perhaps. When I've heard the "selfish" reference before, I've always said, "Show me where it says that in AA conference approved literature." While I can't find that reference, there's at least some folks in Akron back in 1941 that thought the "selfish" reference was valid, and wrote a pamphlet that said so.

In addition, it messes with the Second Tradition, by (it seems) allowing folks to belong to more than one group, thus allowing their votes to be reflected more than once at Intergroup, Region and World Service levels .

Hi,
Being fit is certainly in, but the road to achieve that perfect body isn’t that easy. Following a regular schedule can be boring and it is no surprise that most of the run-of-the-mill regimes have high drop-out rates...

I think that Eight and Nine were where I started actually attempting to read the Book and do what it says, but I'm pretty hazy on that. And I'm sure that I got off track again when I got to Ten, Eleven and Twelve.
