No Mogqua, I'm not judging at all so much as I'm saying as I see it to many words are being put into someone's mouth none of us know. No again on him judging AA, in the interview he had nothing but high praises except that it was just not for him.
See as I see it an addict in the first 30 days of sobriety is already screwed up and the first thing thrown at him 13 years ago was what the health profession knew to be successful in the disease of addiction.
It's clear this was a young man who would not be told what to do, and I think his opposition to AA still holds true because at the brief most painful period in his life again he was being told what to do when he was unwilling to be in the rehab in the first place. So it's sort of like a stigma, a bad taste from his experience there he's never resolved. But like I said, it doesn't matter to me what or how just that he did.
I think many recovery programs that are not 12 step based do in fact uses elements of the program and the only difference is the change in semantics.
Hold on, one day at a time, same concept different words, but it's his words, the words that worked for him, know what I mean?
