The fact is that the majority of the people who follow the program DO stay sober. The majority who don’t stay sober try doing things their way and don’t get sober, period.
Oh, please. Those I see with a lot of time appreciate the gift of sobriety and how they work their program often varies.
Unfortunately, there are some meetings run more with a cult-like vibe than as a fellowship.
How anyone new would find such meetings attractive with the creepy smiles/happy talk is beyond me.
