IT'S FUNNY
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?
