Cafeteria Style
Sometimes an AA member will talk about taking the various parts of the program in cafeteria style --
selecting what he likes and letting alone what he does not want.
Maybe others will come along and pick up the unwanted parts -- or maybe that member himself will go back later
and take some of the ideas he previously rejected.
However, it is good to remember the temptation in a cafeteria is to pick up nothing but a lot of desserts
or starches or salads or some other food we particularly like.
It serves as an important reminder to us to keep a balance in our lives.

Thought to Ponder . . .
I hear and I forget.  I see and I remember.  I do and I understand.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Aware.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
