I wonder why the secretary at the AA meetings signs court cards at the end of meeting then?

I go with a *friend* (wink wink nudge nudge) to open meetings and listen. I have noticed that the God quotient squicks many people out. The program HAS helped oodles of people, so whatever works.

The secretary signs it so the court knows they are going to meetings. LifeRing conveners sign those documents also. So do the facilitators of other recovery meetings.

You would be surprized at the data on all recovery programs. More folks get clean and sober without a program than with a program.....and no they are not what AA calls 'dry drunks'.........

this is a derail I think............

Brandy's headache remedy:

3 Advil, 2 Tylenol Sinus, half a pot of coffee, a hot bath, an icepack on my forehead, tigerbalm to the temples, eat something with lots of protein in it, scoop the kittylitter box.

I figure if I do all of those things pretty much at once that I've covered my basis and solved whatever it is that caused the headache to begin with.

Hi. I'm being offtopic.

No caffiene? Oh, no....

I like your style Toughy. Nothing beats a fatty for a headache. Now where'd I put that roach clip??

I am not an AA member, and am not in any way advocating that theirs is the only way. I used them in my post because it was the first thing that came to mind. My court card question was mere curiosity. I'd seen it done and was curious as to why.

Sorry for the derail and the headache. Pass that thing please.
