Okay. Well, now we are getting to root motivations. You may have a monetary motivation. You would like people to purchase your book. Further, we read in your texts here that you were involved 'to some extent' in AA.... meaning you were at many points on the fringes of AA.

I don't get to judge you. I have my suspicions about your motivation, your level of alcoholic addiction, your true level of involvement in the program. But I don't get to judge you.

But what I want everyone to take note of is this:

On my side, I say, "Find God the way that works for you. Just FIND GOD. Find sobriety the way that works for you. Just FIND SOBRIETY."

On Ted's side, he says "God is only available my way. The other way sucks. Sobriety is only avaiable my way. The other way sucks."

I will leave it to the reader to decide which is the more spiritual approach.

Good day, sir.

“On Ted’s side, he says “God is only available my way. The other way sucks. Sobriety is only avaiable my way. The other way sucks.”

That is your twisited to spin on the matter. I am just saying that what AA teaches about alcoholism is untrue.

My book is available over at Smashwords for .99 cents. Hardly a monetary motivation. If anyone wants it free email me at adamsonted@gmail and I will gladly seen you a free coupon code.

I was deeply involved in AA. I was an Intergroup Representative, Secretary of a Speaker meeting, and and H&I chair with Narcotics Anonymous. I have been a speaker at many meetings, both in NA and AA.

What I am saying conflicts with the brainwashing you have accepted, and it disturbs you.

I want people to be Born Again and be Children of God, not cripples dependent on going to meetings the rest of their life and believing lies.
