Every chance I get I pass on just how incredibly blessed I am to be sober and to have the relationship I have with the ONE who incredibly blessed me.
AA does not teach the path to sobriety. AA
is the path to sobriety. PEOPLE who don't realize my first point are the ones who fail to "teach" the path to sobriety. Robert, I'd love to see what's going on inside your head so I could understand why/where you come up with these ideas that seemingly point to your attempt to find fault with AA. Stop trying to pick the fly poop out of the pepper. "Rarely have we seen a person fail who has
thoroughly followed our path." What's left unsaid is that people have to continually follow the path. Some seem to think that once a person reaches some magic number of years, they can "rest on their laurels." That's their fault, not the fault of AA. AA talks the opposite.
