Coming In From The Street vs. Treatment
Another horrible experience with people from AA. Do I need sponsees to sign a "pre-nup" or a "hold harmless" agreement? An agreement which states what each of our roles entail and what I may and may not say as I take them through the 12 steps? That as a sponsor, I have the spiritual license … Continue reading Coming In From The Street vs. Treatment
What To Do Now That There’s Nothing To Do In AA?
Delve deeper into a spiritual discipline and go to meetings to help alcoholics. Someone I know who has extreme mental health issues, went back to AA and has 30 days - and was told by the "club" that he is not welcome back to meetings for 30 days. OUR COMMON WELFARE COMES FIRST - the … Continue reading What To Do Now That There’s Nothing To Do In AA?
And YES…They Voted To Change The Big Book…Again
My post from 2020 has gotten the most hits and the most comments of any post on this site - here it is. But what is remarkable about this is that the new set of Delegates voted to continue the dumb-down-the-big-book-project at this latest Shameful Service Conference this year in New York.

The Fat Book Cult of AA
https://www.fatbook.org My best friend of 17 years has joined a cult of Christianity. He has left AA for the Church.

Harry Emerson Fosdick…And His Evil Brother
Harry Emerson Fosdick was a great guy - he helped AA a lot - he was probably a big figure like "Jesse Jackson" is today or "Joel Olsteen" - but someone with a clean track record in the eyes of the public. You can read all about his good works on Silkworth.net https://silkworth.net/alcoholics-anonymous/dr-harry-emerson-fosdick/ - However, … Continue reading Harry Emerson Fosdick…And His Evil Brother
A Solution For Those Suffering As ACOAs
#acoa #alanon #trauma #emotioncode I am an ACOA as well as being alcoholic.

Now Here’s An Outside Issue…
Remember - GSO HAS AN UNFUNDED PENSION PLAN - which they claim is what is causing them to go under - https://youtu.be/fhkWueEjewM?si=0Rf12mt1Eg8iyQ-9 Do as I say not as I do - AA groups, other than GSO - should never go into business... and only members are supposed to be contributing to AA - but here … Continue reading Now Here’s An Outside Issue…
