Mining Precious Gems With Dottie
I like Dottie. She is a member of my A.A. Let's Get Serious home group. Age 70-something, 11 years sober, she comes up with some real gems. For example:
"(My kids) Don't like where I came from, but they like where I came."
"I was like a person standing at the bus stop, but the bus doesn't go by there anymore."
"When I drink I break out in stupid."
While I was looking back in my notebook for more dottie-isms, I came across something the late Cecil said at a meeting in 2015:
"AA isn't a religious program. Religion is for people trying to get to heaven. A.A. is a spiritual program for people who have been to Hell and don't want to go back."
