Yeah, that so works for me, and is how in practice I actually went about completing the AA program in 90 days. I walked in, did my detox, did my rehab, did my meetings, did my socializing, had my intimate respective relationships, and 90 days later I was recovered as defined by AA. What's there not to love?!!

Seriously, the above statements are true for me and my experience. And I'm a hardcore recovered alcoholic. Never been to AA before that either... although I did read the BB drunk a few times when I borrowed it from my buddy who could never stay sober in AA. I was in my early 20's back then.

No one wants to be told how to think, even if they agree to being told because of particular circumstances ie alcoholism. I see alot of abuse in AA same as I see it everywhere else though, so it is what it is, and I try to do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons.

I like how you hate injustice, TU. I do too.

Thanks for the useful and important link, TU.
Awesome!

Oh yeah, I wanted to also say I see alot of beautiful lives being saved in AA too!
