Of course we can’t keep them, and of course Jesus is the only way. But the idea is that the whole concept of the Ten Commandments, or Jesus, or the Bible isn’t just about getting to Heaven - it is how to live here on earth, and to further God’s Kingdom to earth.

Good to be full of yourself

Some of us never went to rehab even once but found a way out. Didn’t need to write a book about either

Are you an alcoholic? I am. And I will be one til the day I die. The difference is I turned my will and my life over to a higher power I call God. I get a daily reprieve from alcohol, that's all. If I were to pick up a drink tomorrow, the same same insanity would still be there waiting for me. There is no physical cure for alcoholism only abstinence. We ARE NOT a religious program and AA does not endorse or oppose any cause, nor do we advocate any religious faith or religious faith. Our program has been successful since 1934. Ordinarily I'd be giving some one as thick and defiant as you are a piece of my mind but instead I'm grateful to you, sincerely . Because you remind me of how defiant and obstinate I was when I first came to the rooms of AA. How I thought all of these sober, happy and kind people were a bunch of fools and suckers. If you're an active alcoholic I would hope you find the sobriety I did. If you don't think AA is for you and you want to keep doing it your way, well, you're free to take your misery and hit the road.

Fine. Whatever works for you. AA has worked for me and is still working for millions of others. But again , it is not meant to be a religious program.

Jesus Christ is my Sponsor and has been for 38 years. He has removed all desire for any alcohol and drugs from my life. I do not awake each day having to say or think, “today I will not drink or drug.” There are many of “my kind” by the way, and my kind are the most successful kind according to the One and Only True God. False gods are insufficient in making a man whole, they are incapable of doing so.

Then you never were an alcoholic or you have a fifth of vodka in the toilet tank as we speak. That’s all folks.

Amen. God heals and delivers completely those who believe Him for it. Modern man so often thinks that he is too wise to believe such a thing, but God is so very much much wiser.

Sorry about all the reposts. My new phone is really crazy. Hope to adjust to it quickly. Again, I apologize.

That’s due to the fact it promotes Jesus Christ as the One and Only True God. It is “the truth that sets men free,” and “whom the Son sets free, is free indeed.” The world, those who do not truly know God do not understand this reality. They have not had a true encounter with Him.
