For the first time ever, an emergency meeting has been called between the world service boards of both Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous to be held on July 4th, 2009 in a neutral, undisclosed location in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss the possible impact of merging the 2 fellowships into a single international recovery community.
Members of each party have decided that in the interest of promoting world unity in recovery, that it may be in the best interest of all Alcoholics and Drug Addicts globally to finally accept the fact that we are all the same.
Possible outcomes include:
1) Requiring the strategic merging of fellowship literature: The Big and Basic Book of Alcoholics and Addicts
2) Removal of certain aspects of the literature: ex. Alcohol is a drug no longer need apply since the fellowship literature will merge, Being rocketed to the 4th dimension is a trigger statement for junkies, etc.
3) Chips and Keytags will be renamed to Keychips and will become a single universal symbol of time in recovery.
4) Changing the fellowship names to: A&NA, N&AA, or just simply A
5) Members will refer to themselves as Clean and Sober in all meetings, and any mention of alcohol or drugs will be absolutely tolerated across the board.
In addition, the principals of InTheRooms have been independently meeting with both world service organizations about the possibility of including social media platforms to distribute and develop the new fellowship literature, all based on contributions, or a WikiCovery of sorts. This addition will bring the fellowship to the forefront of the new age of communication, a global world where a burning desire can be had at 3AM in a middle american suburb, and be answered moments later from a recovering addict or alcoholic across the globe, regardless of time zone.
Representatives from each fellowship have asked InTheRooms to share this message with you, that they wish to disclaim that their primary purpose in these talks will be to preserve the sanctity of each fellowship, while discussing ways of moving forward in an ever changing global crisis of alcoholism and addiction.
InTheRooms plans to attend the consortium and has decided to take 2 members of the site along with them as attaches to the community. If you are interested in being a part of this cataclysmic world changing event, please leave a comment below and we will get back to you.
By the way....April Fools!!
