Don't Hide in AA

AROUND our AA program we generally hear, "Keep active in AA and it will help you to remain sober." What about our activity on the outside, in our daily lives? I have seen AA members whose entire personal activity seems to be centered on AA to the exclusion of everything else. I may be wrong, but I do feel that this is a form of hiding, something like what we did when we hid behind the bottle, and just another escape from reality. It is actually using AA as a crutch.
