"Do As I Do,..."
GROUP NOTES:
"Perhaps more often than we think, we make no
contact at depth with alcoholics who are suffering the
dilemma of no faith. Certainly none are more sensitive
to spiritual cocksureness, pride, and aggression than
they...
"In A.A.'s first years, I all but ruined the whole
undertaking with this sort of unconscious arrogance...
"Of course this sort of thing isn't confined to
Twelfth Step work. It is very apt to leak out into our
relations with everybody..."

BIRTHDAY PLAN
What is the Birthday Plan?
For about 45-years in A.A., it's been a special way that some
people choose to express their gratitude for sobriety. They
make a special contribution to Intergroup, earmarking it for
the "Birthday Plan." Some people contribute one dollar for
each year of sobriety. Others contribute a flat amount. Either
way, it's a great way to celebrate an anniversary.
