Wow I did not know I was an "AA detractor"... thought I just didn't use the program...lol. At any rate the title of the thread was what caught my eye. Then reading the original post it felt as if someone was saying they felt sorry for me not "getting it" referring to the AA program. I just wanted to chime in and say, "no pity needed for me, I am ok without it." Honestly I did not look at which area it was posted in either.
Also, I would like to say why change anything about AA? Why change a program that helps so many people and has for so long? Sure people are going to shy away from AA due to the God stuff and higher power stuff because they know it will not work with their beliefs but who cares? There are other programs for those people.
Anyway, just my opinion.
