I don't believe in the Concepts, and I prove that out in this page but so many people think they are the coolest thing, so I am addressing them, as the Traditions at the World Level.Concept 5:Throughout our structure, a traditional “Right of Appeal” ought to prevail, so that minority opinion will be heard and … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 5
The 12 Concepts: Concept 4
As I have said before in the other Concept posts, I know that the concepts are all theoretical because they require that we delegate our authority to "delegates" - which is a violation of Spiritual Law - and therefore is guaranteed to fail, but for those of you who are interested in learning the Concepts … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 4
The 12 Concepts: Concept 3
You can refer to my page about why the service structure is guaranteed to fail because it is a violation of Natural Law to believe that a DCM can re-present a District or that a Delegate can re-present an Area. The GSR actually presents themself - as a member of their group, but the GSR … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 3
The 12 Concepts: Concept 2
Refer to my page about why the service structure is guaranteed to fail: I still believe this to be true, and anyone who does a Concepts workshop, in my experience, is naive and caught up in theory, not in practical reality. But just for fun, I am going to run through the Concepts and show … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 2
The 12 Concepts: Concept 1

I still believe this to be true, and anyone who does a Concepts workshop, in my experience, is totally full of shit. But just for fun, I am going to run through the Concepts and show you how they … Continue reading The 12 Concepts: Concept 1
A New Structure of Service
It is with great sadness that I have decided to let go of being a part of AA General Service. It used to be a great place to try out the Traditions and the Concepts, but no more. Now it is simply a who's who and a bunch of politics while those with more stamina … Continue reading A New Structure of Service
I Dont Go To Womens Meetings
I am a female. But I consider that I am an alcoholic first. When I was drinking I did whatever I had to do to drink the way I liked to drink. This included dabbling in being a lesbian. I am not a lesbian, but at some point in my drinking career, I was working … Continue reading I Dont Go To Womens Meetings
The Manic Depressive Type
as it turns out he is Schizoaffective of the bi-polar type... I wish they had written a chapter on this person. It would really help. I have not met too many of these folks in 28 years - I have met some who are medicated and are even. I currently live with a true manic … Continue reading The Manic Depressive Type
How God Gave Us A Great Idea Thru The 2nd Tradition
Our group had been taking a meeting into a homeless shelter for about 8 years. This was in about 2009. In the last 3 years, the meeting had dwindled to almost no participants. We had one member who was totally committed to showing up. She just went there every week, no questions asked. In our … Continue reading How God Gave Us A Great Idea Thru The 2nd Tradition
Largely Untouched
“Therefore, the first portion of this volume, describing the AA recovery program, has been left largely untouched in the course of revisions made for the second, third, and fourth editions.” You know, this word “largely” was put in to the Preface of the book, Alcoholics Anonymous, a few years ago, I believe, instructed by the … Continue reading Largely Untouched
