Reply #65: That AA debate goin' on again? [View All]

[ismnotwasm]

I've been clean and sober 18 years. I'm agnostic/atheist. AA? it's basic structure is an actual anarchy-- couldn't be a cult if it wanted to. Loves it.

That God word either pisses people off, or scares them off I suppose. My advice? When someone gets busted with a DUI and is court ordered to go to AA and thinks up all kinds of bullshit why it's wrong? Don't go. Refuse. Go to jail instead. You broke the damn law. Pay your dues. Lose your license or whatever. You always have a choice. I'm sick of drunk driving whiners personally. I work in transplant. Our possible Liver recipients often need community recovery. They too, have a choice. (And it's not always AA, sometimes it's SOS or other support type groups.
Sometimes they just die drunk)

Nobody tells me what the fuck to do, or what to believe. What they told me is were few simple suggestions that worked for them. Pulled my head out of my ass and started listening. Then doing. Result is I'm no longer a criminal hard case but a productive member of society. With a big mouth and a loving heart.
