It isn't wise to relegate recovery to one isolated pot, or consider it one aspect of our lives. My interpretation: Practice These principles In All Our Affairs.
In a meeting on denial...excerpts from a story in the back of the book were shared. The woman stated that she denied she was an alcoholic because of her vision of alcoholics only being homeless people that drink out of brown paper bags. I thought because I had a job and showed up to work daily, I couldn't be an alcoholic...Then it hit me...I drank cheap liqour out of a paper bag every night on my way home from work...I was and am no different and that is what I shared in the meeting tonight.

To a newcomer 'If you're not sure if you are an alcoholic or not, you are better off in an AA meeting pretending that you ARE, than to be in a bar room pretending you are NOT'

Someone today was sharing on p. 103 where it talks about how we don't go around telling people they should quit - he compared it to someone who quits cigarettes and then bitches about your smoking. The way he told it was pretty funny.
