[quote:Anonymous Coward 10616946:MV8yMDkzNDU4XzM1MjY5NTE2X0RBNjYzODQy] Someone I am close to is heavily involved in AA and their life revolves around it. Anyone else had this experience? They 'need' to go to meetings, they say, daily. It's a cult which encourages harmful thinking, such as powerlessness and the idea of alcoholism as being incurable. I've been to pick up someone I know from meetings and I get a bad feeling in my gut about many of the members. Many AA members are felons and predators. I don't believe alcoholism is something which is incurable, contrary to the nonsense AA teaches. --------------------------------- Read your original post and looked into your profile pointing your finger at AA yet your life revolves around coming to this site more than then those attending meetings. Harmful thinking? How about all the harmful doom sayers including you here spreading conspiracy theories and doom dates about the end of the world? Your bad feeling in your gut means nothing. Your broad statement about AA people being felons and predators is false and unfair to those who aren't. Your belief is just a thought in the mind. Your belief is just an opinion shared by more than one. Thoughts are not real and neither the feeling your gut ( stop eating pizza late at night ). Thoughts come and go and are neither true nor false. THe problem is when you pay to much attention to your thoughts. [/quote]
