This here above is all i need to know that AA/NA will NOT work me.
Anonymity is supposed to the "foundation" or underlying principles
that doesn't sit tight with me. this is post-humanism as its worst.
If i'm going to be responsible, accountable and respected in society,
why would i want to be associated with any organization that holds this idea sacred?

My aunt, who is an awesome woman, once told me, when i gave her a music CD that i created,
asked me why I don't have my name on my CD. it was just my artist name, not my real family name.
She told me, in the same sitting, "if it's good work that you're doing, you would put your name on it. i won't listen to your music until you give me a CD with your real name on it."
this, in my 20's still developing as a young man, was a very impressionable conversation to me.
if you called it Accountability Anonymous, that might make me want to join.

i;ve been in the rooms, iv worked the steps. they all made me want to drink/use. and my god is not an unknown authority. the god of my understanding doesn't "work" for me, and i dont work for him. I fact, I don't even have a God. What a silly concept.

Why does everybody is Seriousland this there is a God?
Because they feel it necessary for their comfort to know
that "higher" or "other" (anything outside of your own forces)
is what created you, is irrelevant. that is not what i know.
i can only know what i feel, see, sense and hear *from* within

i am a spiritual being. i don't need anyone elses' spirit to valid mine.
nobody else is responsible for my being except me. Nobody.
i don't have a creator other than my own desire.
i manifested physical form from the desire to know be and see
and to be known, seen, and understood.
