Mr. SponsorPants: Ok.
Sponsee: Not going to make the meeting tomorrow.
Mr. SP: Oh?
Sponsee: Yeah. Just no time.
Mr. SP: Oh?
Sponsee: Yeah. A lot going on.
Mr. SP: Oh?
Sponsee: Is that all you are going to say? "Oh?"
Mr. SP: No.
a minute goes by
Sponsee: Well?
Mr. SP: Didn't you once tell me you drove across town in the rain to find a certain bar?
Sponsee: Yes. Think so.
Mr. SP: And it was night?
Sponsee: Yes.
Mr. SP: And you had one headlight?
several minutes go by
Sponsee: I see what you are doing.
Mr. SP: And you had one headlight?
Sponsee: Yes!
Mr. SP: And your license was expired?
Sponsee: Yes. Ok.
Mr. SP: And you had a bench warrant out for a Failure to Appear?
Sponsee: Yes! Yes! Ok! I will go to a meeting!
Mr. SP: Oh, don't go on my account.
Sponsee: F.U.
Mr. SP: :-)
Speaking for myself, if I put even half the effort in to getting to meetings that I did to get a drink, I can always find time for a meeting.
Yes indeed Mr SP. Thanks for the reminder.

HILARIOUS!
"sponsee: F.U."
so . so . so. True!
I get caught up in the shuffle at work sometimes, that I tend to skip meetings sometimes to work late, thinking its more important. NOT! without putting my program first, I will lose everything. Its gonna be a lot harder to have a job to skip meetings for, if I start drinking - LOL.
