AA reminds me of sensible shoes. It'll never be out of style because it was never in style. Seems to be shrinking, though...

[justanotherface123]

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.

Spamming cunt

A miracle in every meeting.....just that some people go home and jump out of a 3rd story window head first because of the guilt of "relapse" Seen it more than once.

I saw a commercial on TV last night for AA.

That's promotion, not attraction.

[ndrthrdr1]

Blaming the failure of a faith healing cult on anyone is nonsense. AA claims not to be religious, then tells you to pray for miracles. It's laughable.

That's why most people laugh at AA.

I was sober for a really sucky year in AA, but not happy. I am now three years sober, I'm much happier, and I don't waste hours a week on evangelical faith healing meetings.

Taking responsibility for myself, rather than relying on imaginary friends, is exactly what I did when I left the cult.

@tommym202 You call those who leave AA (95% in the first year alone) lazy and childish. Did you think that up all by yourself?

No. You are parroting the cult's propaganda. AA's "program" involves turning one's will and life over to an invisible telepathic being with magical powers.

If your Higher Power isn't telepathic, it can't hear your prayers. If it doesn't have magic powers, it isn't able to magically restore you to sanity. Most people can plainly see the absurdity of the AA steps

[tommym202]

@ndrthrdr1 AA doesn't succeed or fail. People succeed or fail. Rarely have we seen a person fail who has THOROUGHLY FOLLOWED our path. People who work the entire program usually have long term success. People too lazy to work the program fail, and those who blame it on AA or anyone else other than themselves are childish and not ready to take responsibility for their own issues. Life is good when you do the work it takes to make it good and stop blaming other people for your failure.

@tommym202 Using that logo isn't deceiving people, since 12-step is the subject of the video.

For people being conned by an ineffective "program" that claims "Rarely have we seen a person fail ..." when the truth is that rarely do they see people succeed in their faith healing cult, telling them the truth is not wasting their time.

Sitting in a room full of mostly depressed people on their way to relapse, being told that an invisible wizard will help them - now that's wasting their time.

[tommym202]

@ndrthrdr1 Yes... so how do you feel about decieving people and wasting their time?

[ndrthrdr1]

@tommym202 Using the logo is just to get the attention of people with alcohol or other drug problems.

It got your attention, didn't it?
