Would I knit in school? High school?
College?

Going to AA meetings is similar to
going to school where i am there to
listen, learn, absorb many important
lessons, suggestions to apply in my
everyday life.

If i showed up to math, science class
with a knitting project, id surely be
asked to put it away or sent to the
principles office.

I often took my AA Big Book or Step
Study book and used a highlighter or
pencil to underline or write notes of
importance while listening to those
sharing or referring to certain pages
or lines in those books.

One hour of my time in those meetings
meant me taking advantage of learning
how to remain sober and applying steps
in my everyday life.

The willingness and openmindedness
to listen intentively is important in my
honest opinion.

Knitting would definitely keep me
from focusing on what's so important.
