I refuse to lie to people and tell them what God will do for them if they follow some set of instructions set forth by the Oxford group and adopted by aa. People need to hear the truth...they are not powerless to help themselves. The biggest and most damaging lie of them all. Active addiction mimics the feelings of hopelessness but feelings are not facts. Supports groups like SR are an amazing tool for recovery...reading everything you can about addiction helps also...but bottom line again is the desire not to drink needs to be stronger than the desire to drink...each and everytime.
