I don’t particularly care if he does tear down AA. Those that read this, try it his way, and fail, will go to AA. Those that read this, try it his way, and succeed, won’t. It’s okay either way, I figure.

Of course, by NOT going to AA and working the Steps, this guy will still have all of the character defects that seperate him from God. He’ll still be the Director of HIS movie, not a bit-player in God’s. He may never know the true joy of being entirely of service to others. He will remain self-centered and self-seeking.

And THAT is a fate worse than drinking.

I don’t care that the state requires AA fo alcoholic offenders. MADD has gotten a toe hold, no, a foot hold in deciding what the courts mandate.They should not have a say what the courts should administer as punishment for an offender in an alcohol involved case.

"He will remain self-centered and self-seeking."

Laz, sometimes you make so much sense, it scares me.

“He will remain self-centered and self-seeking”..that he is demostrating already, ha.

Yeah, just another guy with a book ..big whoop. I read that article and said”So what?”

Nobody at AA says it is the ONLY way and drag drunks into a meeting off the street. ha.

He makes it sound like he JUST now discovered a way to quit..duh..some people just quit, others use church, etc. etc. But the life changing behaviors often don’t happen without some sort of spiritual program.
