Guest guest Posted September 6, 1999 Report Share Posted September 6, 1999 Maybe slipping them under the door of an AA club is malicious, but on phone booths in cities, it seems like a good idea. Although I love the idea of sneaking in to a recovery shop and booby trapping the books. Another good place is the meditation books in book stores. Those meditation books always distrupted my serenity. I dated a guy who kept buying me meditation books. He was of the " anger is bad " belief. Anytime I'd get angry, he'd grumble " let it go.... LET IT GO.... " meaning don't disrupt my serenity with your anger. Needless to say, we didn't date very long.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 1999 Report Share Posted September 6, 1999 I like all these ideas. I would like to have little cards to slip in here and there when no one is looking but I also think something that can be downloaded and printed in different formats, using a common PC like my own , would be very handy. Passing on the message is helping to keep me sober. Does one size fit all? >> I will have to get rolling on the business card idea. I will keep a >> small packet in my purse, and leave them in phone booths in Manhattan, >> as well as slip them under the door of AA clubs, etc. >> The possibilities are endless. It's the cheapest calling card >possible. >> Apple > >Hmmm.

Something business-card sized that could be placed discreetly in >books, certainly; but also a quarter-page or even full-page >bulletin-board broadside that could be pasted or stapled in strategic >places.

Never had I read such abject, grovelling, debased, sanctimonious--well, shit. I fell for the whole disease theory bit, but that little black book made me queasy. I eventually used it to prop up the rear corner of my refigerator in my old apartment. It was good for that, I'll say. I lived briefly with an old-timer who used four different meditation books (including " 24hrs. " ), plus whatever was in the Grapevine, on a daily basis. He kept them in the one bathroom, and didn't think it amusing at all when I referred to that room as " Tony's Excremeditation Chamber " ... ---.
