We've bitten off more than even a hippo could chew.
In this episode of 'Alcoholics Alive!', Shank and Wayne take a humorous yet critical look at the overlooked requests from the fellowship that never quite made it to the conference committees. They dive into topics like 'non-alcoholic high', 'easy does it', and the rather amusing 'bitten off more than even a hippo could chew'.
You'll find yourself chuckling as they explore the quirks and conundrums of AA's internal processes, including the mysterious world of Proposed Agenda Items (PAIs) that often get stonewalled before reaching any meaningful discussion. Shank and Wayne share their personal reflections on the importance of seeking inner peace and the role of AA in helping individuals connect with their idea of God.
Through anecdotes and witty banter, they highlight the disconnect between the fellowship and its trusted servants, painting a picture of a system that sometimes seems to have its own agenda. They ponder over the intricacies of anonymity, accessibility, and the ever-evolving landscape of AA literature. If you're curious about the lighter side of AA's bureaucracy or just looking for a laugh, this episode is packed with insights and humour.
It's a reminder that while sobriety is serious business, there's always room for a bit of fun along the way. Why not tune in and see if Shank's 'easy does it' mantra resonates with you?
