Penn and Teller - 12-Stepping (Full Episode)

This follows the boy scouts episode in the seeping of religion into the state, and once again its something that just gets worse unless its addressed. This in no way makes light of alcoholism or addiction, trying to make treatment better for people is not making light of anything.

I thought I was an alcoholic who needed AA.. everyone told me I drank too much, and I did. Everyone told me to go to AA, it was the only way.. that was seven years ago. now i have a beer or two a month.. if that... over drinking was a choice, and i just chose not to do so anymore. i'm living proof that you do not need AA

These shows are usually great but this episode was just pedantic bullshit. How can two life-long teetotalers expect to know the first thing about addiction. Telling addicts cancer patients are gonna smack them for daring to call alcoholism a disease is just childish.

@MrPainkiller1988 What research needed to be done? Absolutely none. What exactly do you want me to research? Why you type as if you're fucking ten? Not really much to research there, chief. It's because you're an idiot. "Grow up" Wait, you're telling me to grow up? The same guy who calls his parents mommy and daddy? Yeeeah. "and start using things between your ears" What things would that be? My eyes? Nose? Eyebrows? Cheeks? Oh you mean brain? That would just be THING.

@TwoHandedSledge Wow!!!! You couldn't think of doing ANY reaserch for yourself and check the facts abour your previous statemants so you decided to troll me and the use of my language. I can see how one like you could think of my education as a pamphlet. Grow up and start using things between your ears (guess of what I'm talking about).

I went to AA and was honest, open-minded and willing. I have been sober for a little more than 8 months and my life is enjoyable again. I stayed sober for two separate months before AA. Both times I obsessed about smoking every day. Both times I began again because I thought I might be able to only smoke on a weekend here and there. The memory of the high always pulled me back. Since AA, I can live a life of real unconditional peace.

I smoked weed whenever I could no matter what I had to do to get it. From the very beginning, I felt anxious and mentally scattered for a few days after I smoked. I continued to smoke because it gave me a feeling of complete elation and euphoria better than sex. The high outweighed the low every time. Very quickly my feelings when not high turned to suicidal depression and anxiety. Thats all I felt.
