Rule 62 AA Medallions

 Rule 62 – Don’t Take Yourself Too Damn Seriously comes from a humorous yet humbling moment in AA history. A group tried to create an elaborate plan for a new recovery center, filled with grand ideas and rigid rules. When the project collapsed under its own weight, they realized they’d lost sight of AA’s simplicity. A wise old-timer distilled the lesson into one line: “Don’t take yourself too damn seriously.” That became Rule 62 — a reminder to stay humble, keep it simple, and laugh along the journey.
