AA survival tips

I thought this could be a thread where we share AA survival tips. Please contribute as you think of them. I'll start:

1) Offer to read whenever possible. Every meeting begins with the reading of laminated cards, the longest of which is usually "How it Works." Some members read more quickly than others. If you are the one reading, you control how fast the shit gets read. Pausing for commas and periods is totally optional. Indeed, I can read "How it Works" and "The Promises" as one long run-on sentence. This tip is esspecially useful at Big Book meetings where everyone takes a turn reading. Feel free to read more than one paragraph before passing.

I'd be the first to agree that anyone can get a DUI. It's easy to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But repeatedly so? I would agree that drinking and driving is a behavior. You can drink at home and no one is the wiser or at risk.

Would you go go rehab for one dui? There has to be more to this story.

Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.

Exactly Clara. A dwi nowadays is .08 I think that is 2 beers in an hour. I was not even there for an alcohol related offense nor was I under the influence of anything. But I did break the law. When I would try and explain that I had almost 10 years sober, I was always discounted.

Would be a DUI for me. I am a female weighing under 100 lbs.

Unless you are a 100 lb man, you are not gonna have a .08 after two drinks in an hour.
