AA Bullshit Bingo

Do you catch yourself falling asleep in meetings? What about those long and boring drunk-a-logs? Here is a way to change all that...

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, prepare yourself by drawing a square.
I find that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following word/phrases in each block:

1) Issues
2) Inner-child
3) Living Amends
4) Meaningful Relationship
5) Slip
6) I'm Stuck on Step __
7) I Couldn't Find A Meeting
8) My Sponsor Has Been Out Of Town
9) Can't
10) Won't
11) Yeah But
12) But....don't you think
13) Misunderstood
14) Never
15) Rational Recovery
16) Recovering Person
17) Searching (as in, "for answers")
18) Gonna (sometimes prefaced with, "I'm")
19) Been thinking (sometimes prefaced with, "I've")
20) She said
21) He said
22) Dysfunctional
23) I heard
24) Rage
25) I don't know much about this, but...

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words or phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
