[RWG]

sipping only coffee and smoking a plethora of [nicotine] cigarettes during the interview...a sure sign of aa and the inevitable fall from the wagon. I hate aa and the sober alcholics I know do too. I attended many meetings with my friend who was a sponsor. I did this as a favor to him so that we could come back during non meeting times and use the facilities for our recreation. During those aa meeting there was nothing but drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and boasting about the times spent in stupors. Most of the people who promoted aa generally went on a binge every couple of months or so. The non aa sober alcoholics I know never went back. I have been sober 23 and a half years and have never gone to an aa meeting as a participant. aa makes addicts dependent on aa. It is the sorriest organization around, second only to the democRATS.

That is a bigoted statement. AA has helped many alchoholics get back on the track of a normal life. The message is that we as addicts have no control over alchohol or other drugs when we decide to use them. Plus you get to meet a lot of great people who were in the same boat and were able to recover.

As an AA member, I would like to hear why you dislike it. I have had problems with it as well, but it did not lead me to throw out the baby with the water.

Addiction is not fun.
