AA is neither secular or demonic...You obviously know little to nothing about it. I’m glad you aren’t my addiction counselor!
The best treatment centers in the country, including Hazelden who authored the Minnesota model, are proponents of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous..and encourage those who go through treatment to attend meetings regularly ..which for most of us, is lifelong.
A book is just a book. An author who wants his five minutes of fame or money is not going to leave a lasting imprint on the world of recovery.
Why haven;t we heard about this amazing book/man before?
But as I said, if it helps you, it’s not a bad thing.
But don’t tout it as the latest miracle fix because there is no cure for addiction..only daily remission based on the ability to admit powerlessness, surrender to God, do a moral inventory, make amends, ask for forgiveness and help others.
Step 11: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscience contact with God, as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out”.
Hmmm...Non spiritual? Demonic? I don’t think so, alpha. lol
And herein is found the lie of secular programs. "there is no cure for addiction." You have just defined God as not being Almighty. You have just proclaimed that Jesus Christ, the One who raised people from the dead, healed lepers, opened blinded eyes, deaf earsm and delivered men from demonic possession is incapable of healing a man of addiction. This is where you are wrong; and even guilty of calling God a liar. That's a heady position, and it's the position of AA as well. Well, nothing is too difficult for my God, and He is more than able to heal the addicted. This lie that says God cannot heal an addict is a lie from the "father of lies;" Satan, and therefore is a demonic lie. Man may not be able to cure an addict, but Almight God is more than able, and He does. He did for me, and has done so for multitudes of others.
Satan’s and demons are spiritual beings. They operate in the spiritual realm; and deception is their specialty.
Wonder how much money has been made on the Big Book? Hmm!
And I wonder if AA gives a Big Book to everyone who comes to their meetings as I give my book to those who come to our meetings? Hmmm!
