@ben42day Oh I am a man and will stick to my statement . If belonging to a christian cult keeps you sober keep going back. I live in Thailand now and help Thai alcoholics with monks here . AA is chocked full of sex predators,freeloaders, and people that would far better off seeing a psychiatrist. Helping other alcoholics is the answer not a bunch of mumbo jumbo in a book . Taking people in need to monastary where the philosophy of yin and yang . You either drink or you dont .

@jeffrey19621 i had played around with a.a. for over 30 years drinking myself to death and shooting dope on top of it and the whole while saying how full of crap a.a. was. i getting that feeling from you. Don't blame others cause you werent ready. You know there's a special place in karmaville for you people who bash something that there only intentions are to help someone get sober. There's all kinds in a.a. like you everyone isn't there for the same reason. Be a man....take blame

[ben42day]

Usually you guys who bash A.A. weren't willing to go to any length to recover. Someone probably told you the truth and you didn't like it.Grow up and quit blaming something that has been around longer than your time on earth.NO ONE MAKES ANY ONE DO ANYTHING LET ALONE COOK. Quit your crying and man up to your own mistakes. Don't blame something Ive seen help so many. If your involved in gossip thatz your fault. A.A. is not a haven for angels, it's people who are looking for help.

When they mean service it is like the master speaking to slaves . When I grew tired of cooking and driving people around , It seemed as if I was of no use to them . Making coffee for a bunch of windbag oldtimers . If you want to be involved in a rumor mill or sleep with some guy's wife don't bother with AA just join the volunteer fire dept. It was helped at first but in the back of my mind I wondered if some oldtimers ever took a drink in their life , just loving to hear themselves talk.

Somebody told me there is a meeting of Douchebags Anonymous in my town. They told me the name of the building and the time it was on at. I turned up at the appointed time and place but it was a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, not DA!! Although I did spot a few douchebags there...... And they were all worshiping some total douche named Willy Wilson or something....I have yet to figure out what was going on....

You need to take ACTION on SERVICE and UNITY.....:)

I just had 5 years yesterday and I don't understand this video. Are they claiming that the steps don't get you anywhere? I have never had it so good and I owe it to AA, without AA I would be dead and have nothing, AA is the reason I am alive and it has gotten me everything. Without the steps I would have gone back out and I would have nothing.

@maddogmargetts

Yes, the entire thesis exists online as a PDF document...

I will PM you the link...

@Hammersley1967 ...I would be interested in reading this. Maybe an interesting way to transcend the problem of "self" or even side step it. Is the work available online anywhere?
