For me, one of the most important things I can do is take what I learn in the meetings and in the program and apply them in all areas of my life. Work especially. Its made me a better employee and co-worker. This is especially important when I am around those who know I am in AA. For them, I could be the only example of the program they see.
Bottom line for me, AA is not a place I go for an hour a few times a week. AA needs to be a way of life 24/7.
