Quote of the Day

“The deal with AA is that we don’t give a conception of God. Whatever conception you have is good enough to start. It is vital though, that one be convinced that they are alcoholic. Then we move on to the God thing.”




Jim, an AA and two-hatter, pulling the AA bait and switch routine on a “prospect.”

humanspirit says Stepper mendacity and deceitfulness revealed.  What about all the people whose “conception of God” is that there is no such thing as God?


And even for those who do believe in God – how is the 12-step program supposed to help them stop drinking?


November 8, 2010, 3:43 pm true believer says It does not matter to the AA weather or not I AM an alcoholic, it only matters that I am convinced that I am. Then the AA can CONVINCE me that turning my will and life over to the program will provide solutions and serenity. Classic AA dung-vine mind control cult bull crap!

November 8, 2010, 3:53 pm SoberPJ says OK, so I need a god to relieve me of the desire to drink. I have seen where a real alcoholic had a desire to drink and I gave him a sandwich instead and his desire to drink went away for a while. I’m confused. Am I god, or is the sandwich god?

McGowdog says, "No, Sober PJ.  You're a fucking idiot and a fucking liar.  Remember?"

November 8, 2010, 4:20 pm humanspirit says @SoberPJ Think it’s probably you that’s god rather than the sandwich. In which case it’s your damn fault that the person you mention is an alcoholic in the first place.
