AA is a sick, toxic, and unhealthy environment. I speak from experience afte rspending four years in the rooms and dealt with countless hours of guilt and uneducated and misguided "suggestions". I have found freedom of the power of AA and it's destructive mind washing. I am healthy, and do not go to meetings. I encourage people who feel tied to AA to start thinking for themselves. You do not have to attend AA or so the steps to "recover" from anything.

@dickie13492 Glad to hear that it is going well for you. Thanks for the post. Mike

If you read the ' Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book', page 185 (4th edition)- Dr G. Kirby Collier (psychiatrist) states his opinion is that it can be proved that AA has a success -'recovery' rate of 50-60% (1944).

@jackiehumphries An opinion of provability from a 1940's psychiatrist does little to establish actual success rates either then, or now. Mike

If you do not like AA, then don't go, simple as that. Some of us "got it" and some didnt. I will not lose any sleep whether you drink, die, or go insane, or if you live a perfectly normal life for that matter. - Grateful to be sober, sane, and free, in AA

@BbearWARRIOR Thanks for the advice, the encouragement, the testimonial and, of course, the validation. Mike

Thanks for your videos. 12 step is a religion, pure and simple. If you need religion to quit drinking (drugs, gambling, whatever) that's fine, but don't tell people 12 step is the only way. The success rate of 12 step is somewhere between 3% and 5%. Nothing to brag about.

2:27 ABSOLUTELY. "Why are you so angry?" "Dry drunk" ET CETERA. No, we're not failures, we're not even using drugs....or drinking at all or in excess, nor are we dwelling on drugs or alcohol...wait, we moved on? Oooops....was that the biggest 12 step no-no? Getting on with our lives? I forget, I thought it was "jails, institutions or death", none of which we have anything to do with. And BTW, you received your doctorate where? That's what I thought.

Wait till I start making video's, the meeting's in my little hamlet are so over the top sick and twisted and chock filled with creeps, perverts and one full fledged sexual preditor. After years of looking the other way and apologizing for bad behavior of other's and playing my own sick game's the truth need's to be told. With so many young women messed up on herion and pill's and in a bad way their family AA is easy pickins for anyone wanting to take advantage...
