It does not effect me in a bad way of your comments. As a matter of fact I thank you for the chance of the tolerance of others. I am betting his life will go down in history as helping many more humans than yours will. If God would have never existed....There never would have been any human being clever enough to invent him.

@SIXTY60PANMAN You are welcome. You are comparing Bill Wilson to God? Mike BD

Thank you for providing this opportunity for 12th step work. I need to remember to practice these principles in all my affairs.  My initial response to your video was anger. I respond similarly to much of the AA literature. But then, as the program suggests, I paused and took a spot check inventory. My response was really not proportional to the stimulus. You're merely expressing a point of view. Opportunities such as this give me practice to take the message outside the rooms of AA.

It's all 'about principles, not personalities.' I've stayed sober 12 years by following the programme to the best of my ability, accepting that I am powerless over alcohol but that there is something out there that is greater than I am, and ignoring the flim-flam, fakery and psychobabble. Thanks for sharing this - it is always better to know the truth, even if it isn't pleasant.

@BigB0nes Hi mate, thanks for taking the time to comment. It is always nice to hear from current AA members that are able to express their views reasonably and with respect. I am glad the programme is working for you. Take care, James G (UK)

This may very well be true! I have been in AA of and on for over 20 years and now have 8 Clean years in a row! I also have learned alot about Bill W the man, Frankly he wasn't a very good man in or out of sobriety! Saying that the program of AA has saved my life! Regardless of the type of man he was. The first 164 pages i really don't trust because he wrote most of them, I work the steps, have a sponcer, go to LOTS of meetings and work with other Alcoholics in Need! So far so good.

@Megamomster Of all the descriptors which come to mind, "schmuck" isn't one of them. Kool-ade salesman, huckster, flim-flam artist, con man, and chiseler, perhaps, but not schmuck. Enjoy the rest of our vids. Mike

No it just shows the flawed character of one of the men who founded AA. Many of which he admitted to.
