Someone should start a thread dedicated to BS ideas and sayings that go around meetings, yet are not in the BB and have nothing to do with alcoholics anonymous. I'm sure we could come up with a litany of examples.
On a another note, "Take what you want and leave the rest" .... correct me if I'm wrong, but that one isn't in the BB is it?
I have noticed (like other people have) that this has been interpreted by many as pertaining to the 12 steps of AA---- not what people say in meetings as was intended.
