God is a worthless fuck. I put up with the politics of christianity anymore.AA didnt work for me. Putting your life in the hands of another force, even if it is god is saying you dont have the willpower.
I just stopped drinking. That worked for me...
I believe there is a god... But I dont believe in organized religion. God game me life and what I choose to do with it after that is my choice.God is a worthless fuck. I put up with the politics of christianity anymore.
Sperm and egg gave me life. Not some mythical person.I believe there is a god... But I dont believe in organized religion. God game me life and what I choose to do with it after that is my choice.
I dont think he looks over us lovingly and takes care of us. That's for sure...
True.Sperm and egg gave me life. Not some mythical person.
I gave up my faith in god. I spent 10 years putting my faith in him. I gave up. God didn't bless me with shit.True.
But what is the root of all life? I call that god... But I dont place any morality into it.
bro, it's anonymous in that what happens in the meeting, and the identities of the attendees are secret.Anonymous my ass. If you could wear a mask and not be forced to tell everyone your name, then maybe you could consider it "anonymous."
You obviously haven't seen the movie "fight club"bro, it's anonymous in that what happens in the meeting, and the identities of the attendees are secret.
when you go to a meeting, it's to shaare, with the only pewople who cna understand what youre going through, and thats other people who have been through it.
it's not a cult, there are no charismatic leaders, no payments for induction into the "deeper mysteries" and no demands of eternal fealty.
its people coming together to help each other through some rought times, not a secret cabal plotting thhe destruction of human society to usher in the dominion of the Lizard People.
there were no AA meeting in fight club.You obviously haven't seen the movie "fight club"
You're trying to kid the wrong guy here.there were no AA meeting in fight club.
those were support groups. its similar in concept, but in practice quite different.
Indeed! They tore a page from the government handbook.It started from a Cult
It continues to be a Cult
and to top it off it's success rate is less than 5% abstinence after a year
about the same as people who choose to quit without AA
And the Powerless thing is not about God
it's about surrendering yourself to the group
uhhh the subject is Alcoholics Anonymous, not christian religion. the two are completely separate.People do bad things then look for relief from a higher power, the trick is to understand right and wrong, then make calculated decisions based on consequence. It isn't anyones fault but yours including "God". I agree Christianity is quite cult like, but religion is still used as it was designed, to conform people.

AA does not equate drinking with a religious sin, but treats alcohol abuse as a problem, a PERSONAL problem, and porovides a safe place for people to talk about the problem without the social stigma or prejudice they find elsewhere.
everyone crying and whinging about a PRIVATE GROUP of people making a PRIVATE CHOICE about their PRIVATE LIVES, and calling them weak, foolish, stupid, brainwashed or gullible is making obvious WHY alcoholics anonymous is ANONYMOUS!
if your lives are so well in hand, then make a series of self helkp videos, share your great wisdom, and become fabulously wealthy. it should be pretty easy for all these paragons of virtue who are so confident in their moral superiority as to desparage people they dont know for going to meetings with a group they dont understand.
edit: i forgot to add,
IF YOU DONT LIKE AA, DONT FUCKING GO!
IF YOU CANT QUIT BITCHING ABOUT AA, EAT A DICK.
EAT A FAT DICK.
