AA is the best thing that ever happened to me .... I tried to quit for years and kept failing AA should me how to change my life around with the use of the steps....AMAZING happy joyus and fee as promised .. It only really works if you want to change your personality and i did.
They showed me how to live a great sober life not just how to quit drinking, drinking was only 20% problem, coping with life and my moods AA fixed... AA works for those who work it!!!!
i have been sober in AA for 20 yrs. I am the most happiest about that.I have evolved from dependence on AA to dependence on a higher power .That journey is something that needs to be experienced.I as an older sober member don't have nor am I qualified to have all the myriad of answers for Alchoholics.what we have in AA is a program that leads to freedom from addiction.All the people that I know in recovery for 10 20 30 40 50 yrs all have a higher power in their lives.
@karlcrawford said "All the people that I know in recovery for 10 20 30 40 50 yrs all have a higher power in their lives."
That's because the people who aren't religious and quit drinking without belief in a god leave AA when they've finally had enough of the feeling of being in a prayer meeting. I've met many people like me who've quit drinking and quit AA both. To each his own.
...Ill pray for you...AA is the only thing that has ever worked for this old head... i havent had the obsession to drink or drug in 5 years now and all i did was take dale 101 out and put AA in place....that shift of power is key....maby you need another meeting
12 step groups and religions dont use any force, they are voluntary. Governments are people who are using threats and violence to force people to pay for their services. Taxes are not voluntary. Its pay or else. Normal people provide their services in the free market without using violence. IF the services of government are so valuable then why cant they provide them like normal nonviolent people.
AA doesn't say dump the spouse, in fact, just the opposite. They recommend holding off on any major changes in relationships until the initial withdrawal period has passed, On the other hand, you are pretty spot on about every thing else. Bill Wilson was a known womanizer, user of other drugs, and promoter of all sorts of ideas (some not as bad as others). The cult is no more effective than any other method, only those who really want it, benefit.
here is another secret they don't want you to know:
"A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution" Flat out lie. Dr. Bob Smith founder of AA was a freemason therefore there is a definite affiliation with another cult. The symbol reflects that FACT.
@reddog6491Actually there is an addition which is complementary to A.A and it's called Recovery Dynamics. There isn't the time for me to enlighten you aboutit but I use it daily and I am coming up to my third year ( actually in five years I had one awful, sordid bender where I could so easily have lost everything'). I believe that people seeking recovery and serenity are entitled to use any method that works for them. Even the naysayers must adit that A.A has saved countless lives. Love XX
I drank alcoholically because drinking made me feel better. I quit because I wanted more out of life and I slipped a few times because I wanted to drink and then I quit again because my life is better without alcohol. None of this has anything to do with AA or disease theory. Why make it more complicated than that?

1st. point- most just wise up. Ok, what about those who dont?
2nd Point- I was without a drink for 2 years before I went to AA. You may call that success. I called it a living hell worse than when I was drinking. Anxiety so high my blood pressure was 210 over 125. Your going to love this, after doing the steps and working the program, my blood pressure is 130 over 78. Nothing else changed except my outlook on life. All the points on here do not address chronic alcoholism. Just problem drinkers
Aha, amuck you pathetic fucking troll - I have just stumbled upon this comment about the 'hell' you went through before AA (probably you had 0 friends because the only people who would accept you are other sick whack-jobs like yourself)
It is almost identical to the one you have ferverently denied posting this and whipped tantrums.
In future if you want to tell lies - don't bother as you're memory is obviously shit, you stupid little cunt!

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!! MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! : VOLATILE NUTCASE "isegoria1" HAS SHUT DOWN COMMENTING ON HIS "ANTI AA" VIDEOS BECAUSE AN OLD WOMAN "agecooper" POSTED THE TRUTH!!
Again more adhom because that is all you have, you never once refuted a damn thing he posted so I think you are just whipping a tantrum
Nice spiritual principle.
He blocked you for the same reason I did - You are a self righteous Self important bitch Between you are agecooper neither of you would know the truth is it beat you in your wet brains.
Stalking like serial killer. agecooper's comments have about as much merit as your public delusion here. You fuckers have been owned so many times over it is not even humorous anymore.
I shut down comments because the points I have posted have yet to be refuted in anyway and I was getting sick of repeating myself to the deliberately dishonest. Instead you think I should be willing to accept your abusive hate speech because you are just too stupid to grasp a simple logic problem.
i too just got sick and tired of being sick and tired and wised up, felt I didnt drink enough to fit in aa, but drank enough at times maybe. aa has many hard criminals i think , or harder than me, i want to avoid those. but i listen often to aa radio , uplifting success stories. mostly sober for what how many years.
I have been in and out of AA for years and two treatment centers,which I did voluntarily...three times arrested...until finally I made up my mind that alcohol was no longer an option for me. I've been sober 2 years this Febuary 2009 without the stress or the expectations of AA. Personally, I never felt comfortable among AA'ers, because something always seemed amiss. I simply couldn't be sold on the premise or the (to be) practiced principles of AA, where I knew I did not nor could never fit.
Secrets? Really? Total crock of shit being peddled here.

if A.A. is treatment for a medical condition such as the disease concept of alcoholism.why has
it not changed since 1935?has there been no advancement in the study, no new technology, no
new breakthroughs?thair can be only 2 reasons for this.
1. it is infallible and it works for everyone. or
2. it is a religion and change in religion is equal to hericy

Your numbered list are not the causes of alcoholism.
The list are factors in relapse. Relapse is THE problem and AA is a way to prevent relapse.
