Stupid freaking concept that you need a “cure” for addiction

FRiend, I sincerely hope you never have a loved one with a substance problem.

Well, Jeff, if I did, I would talk to him a lot kinder and with less supposing I know all about him than some here would. I would try to explain the three fold problem of this allergy to alcohol we carry and share my experience, my strength and my hope. I would listen and see if there wasn’t some way I could do it with the three fold approach that AA was founded on and then go to work. It’s worked hundreds - yep, hundreds - of times for me, and I wouldn’t expect it not to again. I don’t like co-opting the foundations of the twelve steps and certainly not with a magic “cure.” Nothing will cure the mental physical and spiritual problems we have when we are finally gripped by the self centered universe of slavery, once we become “His Majesty the Baby” with alcohol telling us to jump and us asking how high. I’ll do just fine by me and mine. I have for an awful lot of days now and expect I will continue to.
