Am I a Good AA When
- I talk so long at meetings that the others do not get a chance?
- I interrupt when others are trying to talk?
- I break Traditions and will not help a person who has a double problem?
- I frighten an already frightened person with all of the dangers in the world?
- I treat anyone as though I was the only one with a brain?
- I criticize people who have already been criticized all their lives?
- I throw an AA saying at someone instead of being an understanding friend?
- I forget that the person I dislike may have come a lot further up than I?
- I refuse sympathy or understanding to someone who wants and needs it so much?
- I criticize people holding offices that I couldn't handle nearly as well?
- I am envious of the ones who are doing the work that I am too lazy or scared to do?
- I talk so loud that no one else can have any peace of mind?
- I start a project and expect everyone else to feel the same way I do about it?
- I unload all my troubles on others, never giving them a chance to unload too?
- I want attention when I say something but don't listen to the other fellow?
- I look down my nose at people who have a dual problem?
- I quit counting my blessings and stop being thankful?
- I leave all the calling to the other person?
- I work so hard with someone who doesn't want AA that I am not ready to help someone who does?
- I think being kind ends with AA members only?
- I think that I am the only one who has problems because I am the only one telling them?
Most of these are things I do or resent in someone else, so I'm not a good AA; but I am very grateful that God, through AA, has helped me in spite of these defects.
