Recovery | Addressing the haters from AA and others

The haters make You Tube a tiresome experience. I would like to thank them for being the social vampires they are.

The very instant I open comments up again these people have to come in and spread their hate, disinformation, and deliberate lies.

I wonder what step they learned that in? Bunch of hypocrites, I wonder when they will follow their 10th tradition and STFU?

All I know is I was drunk & miserable & now I'm sober and happy. AA works for me. Long term. It ain't the only way, but it is a good way.

@tommym202 Ignorance is bliss

I've been clean in NA for almost 20 years. I do it by personal choice as treatment for an addiction disorder that is recognized by the AMA.

[isegoria1]

@naclean91 So now it is a matter of choice? Your cult says it is a disease. You are a walking contradiction and you dont even know it. BTW your extra years clean means nothing to me. It does not give your credence or clout. The AMA has a dirty past that is akin to the mob. Maybe you should read up on them before you use such a poor starting point. BTW AMA has NEVER agreed with AA that it was a disease. No matter how much pushing and shoving AA has done.

These videos are great for people who are committed to recovery, but have reservations about surrendering to NA. Their literature is a bunch of vague, useless platitudes. I've also always wondered why people don't sit down and honestly figure out their own, personalized steps for recovering from whatever it is that has a hold on them. Doing this improved my life more than any 12 ambiguous steps or cult ideology ever could. Keep up the videos, It takes balls to put yourself out there like this.

@isegoria1 Yes, and unfortunately you are ignorant and have no education on how the brain works. Come talk to me when you have a PhD in neuroscience.

[MrDCSLC]

@isegoria1 If you look at the medical definition of addiction you would realize it is a disease. I have a doctorate in neuroscience and work at the University of Utah. I have been doing experiments and tests on lab rats and humans for 17 years. At first, I did not believe addiction is a disease but when you get the education and do the work and experiments behind it, addiction is a disease. Your comments are not educated and backed up by any research and are therefore useless.

[MrDCSLC]

If you have been to jail, rehab, overdosed, stole from the ones you love, and been revived from death all multiple times then you can tell me alcoholism isn't a disease. Until then, you don't know shit about alcoholism.

A DISEASE, MY ASS !

Let's just say this guy has a good point......however he doesn't look happy AT ALL

[liveguy7]

I am disgraced as a human being to think that we have no power over any addiction. I believed it for years and thought myself to be doing the right thing, pushing myself to be happy but I actually never was. Being labelled by an institution or traditional step programme mirrors powerlessness. I left my NA recovery center after 13 weeks. The daily reminder that I was doomed and heavily diseased plummeted me into depression. Twas only as I was praying one night I understood it was a choice. FREE!
