Diligent
members that we are we never fail to be impressed (during the course
of our prolonged and detailed internet searches) at the extraordinary
lengths that cult members will go to to 'carry the
message'…...especially when it involves trying to pull the wool
over your eyes and part you from your hard earned cash! Whether it be
the Joe and Charlie Road Show (now version 2 … or is it 3 or even
more!) complete with work sheets, treatment centres, CDs and homely
little epithets, the 'whizz bang' technique extolled by the
gloriously named Wally P (he of Back to Basics fame), the Primary
Purpose gang (an only slightly less accelerated version of the
aforementioned snake oil purveyors), the Visions 'do exactly what
your sponsor tells you” faction …... and so on and so forth …...
you'll be sure to find something to suit even the most jaded
palate….. the variations on this particular theme we believe are
virtually endless! But now we think we've hit upon the 'summum
bonum' of the whole shebang! This one we think is a knock out.. a
guaranteed best seller with simply oodles of money to be made here!
So struck are we in fact by the sheer genius of this approach we are
currently engaged in intense negotiations with the copyright holder
to secure the licensing rights to this particular work of art. You
can be quite sure that we're going to get our own piece of the
action! Indeed we've had our marketing department working flat out
on the concept since we were first introduced to it. The
possibilities are literally endless. Never mind CDs, work sheets and
all that stuff! We're talking film rights here! Still we mustn't get
beyond ourselves. We of course spoke to our sponsor before making
any kind of decision. Apart from insisting on his 'cut' he
suggested..... SUGGESTED.... that we give the punters (that's YOU) a
taster.... just to whet the appetite! But we've decided to go one
better than that! Yes indeedy! For a very limited period we shall be
putting the complete recovery package on the website (but only
briefly!) DON'T MISS OUT!
Voilà!

When
attending an AA meeting go up to the NEWCOMER (with a sort of serious
face), introduce yourself and then give them the "AA
Instruction Sheet" and inform them that if they follow these
instructions to the letter they WILL succeed.
Hand
them one of the sheets #1 side up. Then instruct them to turn it
over to view #2. Tell them that is ALL they have to do for a while
….usually they will laugh and thank you]
Pass
it on!

Is that what they mean by Keep it Simple! ….. Nah! …. Too
