i personally dont believe in aa.
i dont believe alcohol is the problem, it's the mind pattern of the person that needs correction.
if aa works for someone that's fine, but it aint for me.
when you're in such close proximity with so many people, your aura overlaps theirs and you absorb their energies. all of their negative emotions, problems, worries are passed onto you. that is why you feel crappy when you leave.
