It's dangerous to let other people do your thinking for you.

Who said that? I did....BAM!

Actually, a person can believe everything he or she thinks.

also I found it sad to see the hahaha at the end of this
Maybe all the LSD I took is having its way with me hahaha

now that I'm sober I often wonder how much more sharp I would be if I hadn't marinated my brain so often
how much better my memory might work now

...just food for thought....dangerous or otherwise

Boleo, so paranoid schizophrenics really don't believe everything they think? Seriously?

I smell a troll....

Are you giving up AA for the secular side? I have yet to read about your very own secular recovery. What, exactly, are you doing here?

I have met atheists in AA that are doing well and have come to believe that "Higher-Power" can mean a wide variety of things so long as it is "outside of self".

You may want to post this in Secular 12-Steps. This forum is for discussion on Secular Forms of Recovery ONLY. This thread is on its way to be the second thread I've had to close for discussing 12 Step Programs in Secular Connections this week.

The original post and subsequent posts by the same poster could have been refuted far more simply.

Not only was there obviously no point to it, the arguments were contradictory.

Why rise to the bait?
