When I was homeless, I used to sneak in like Jacques Cousteau on LSD to the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcoholics Anonymous) meetings for the free coffee and cookies. Some of the women there were pretty hot, too, especially at the meetings in Beverly Hills and Westwood.
One of the things I learned is that you get trinkets for certain periods of sobriety and cake for one year anniversaries of sobriety. Your yearly sobriety anniversary becomes your "birthday."
"No cake for Bill (or Suzy or whomever)" means you fell off the wagon and have to be born all over again. I think that's the gist of it. I was busy in the back of the room stuffing cookies in my pockets.
