Don’t forget to be fucking stupid. You read that right! Don’t forget to let yourself go. Be silly. Have some fun. We can get so serious sometimes that we can lose track of the joy and playfulness in life. Not everything has to have some “aha moment” or deeper philosophical meaning. The word we need to learn is irreverent. It means: showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously. This kind of thinking in recovery goes back to a group of A.A. that had created sixty-one rules to follow. After sending these “rules” back to New York (AA HQ) because there were many disagreements over them, the NY AAWSO sent back another rule, “Rule 62,” which states, “Don’t take yourself too damn seriously.”
Reflections
When was the last time you really let go and had some fucking fun? Did it feel good or awkward? Why?
Daily Challenge
Go to a party. Not a drinking party, of course, but the next time you are invited, say, “yes,” and just show up.
