AA - Rule 62

What is Rule 62? Don't take yourself so seriously! The realization that we can have fun in sobriety doesn't always dawn on us when we first get sober. "We are not a glum lot. If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence, they wouldn't want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life." "So, we think cheerfulness and laughter make for usefulness. Outsiders are sometimes shocked when we burst into merriment over a seemingly tragic experience out of the past. But why shouldn't we laugh? We have recovered and have been given the power to help others."
