‘Do I belong in
AA or Al-Anon?’ is a vexed question that troubles many people. With the use of
this simple diagnostic tool (courtesy of Stephen Sondheim), a solution is at hand.
Ask yourself, which of these two do I identify with?
(a)
The sun comes up
I think about you
The coffee cup
I think about you
The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
I think about you
And do they know
It's like I'm
losing my mind
All afternoon
doing every little chore
The thought of
you stays bright
Sometimes I stand
in the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right
I dim the lights
And think about
you
Spend sleepless
nights
To think about you
(b)
The sun comes up
I think about me
The coffee cup
I think about me
The morning ends
I think about me
I talk to friends
I think about me
And do they know
It's like I'm
losing my mind
All afternoon
doing every little chore
The thought of me
stays bright
Sometimes I stand
in the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right
I dim the lights
And think about me
Spend sleepless
nights
To think about me

If you identify
with (a), go to Al-Anon. If you identify with (b), go to AA. If you identify
with both, go to both.
