AA and Suicide: The Untold, Most be Told Story

Suicide is an unspoken yet must be told reality in AA.

I have endured this wickedness personally.

Blamethenile shared his personal account on YouTube. He compiled a number of stories about AA, death, and suicide.

Blamethenile then shared these statements:

"F---- him! Better him than me!"

"Love and tolerance is our code" so claim the people in AA -- as if!

"Too bad he couldn't get honest and work this simple program."

No one can get honest enough to undo the sense of condemnation which weighs down on every person. This statement, like many others, came out of the mouth of an "old-timer".

Stuffy, self-righteous Pharisee is more accurate. . .

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." (Matthew 23: 15)

"Suicide is the ultimate form of self-centered selfishness".

In a clinical sense, yes. Focusing one oneself breeds depression, despair, and ultimately death if one does not receive Life and that more abundantly from Another (John 10: 10)

"Why didn't he call somebody? He had lots of phone numbers."

What's the point of calling people who have the same problems as you do, who throw at you the same garbage that makes you dirtier and down-and-out? As a member of CR, I would rather choke on a stick than talk to any of those people who were still wallowing around feeling sorry for themselves, convinced that stepping into recovery was a life-long processs.

"See?! This is what happens when you quit going to meetings and don't work the steps."

That is a load of B----------. I cannot count on enough fingers and toes the people whom I have met who stopped going to meetings and they did not drink. In so many AA meetings, someone ends up sharing about friends or acquaintances who have quit drinking, yet they do not go to meetings. I hear about these success stories, and they all take place outside of meetings.

As for those who say the program works, oftentimes they do not go to meetings anymore!

"I hope the new people here can see how serious this program is. It is a matter of life and death for everyone of us."

AA is a matter of life and death: life if you get out, and death if you stay.

"There but for the grace of God. . ."

AA people know nothing about the grace of God. They have no right, no reason, no nothing to be talking about "grace".

"This is what happens when you get involved with a newcomer." (said newcomer was present)

Blamethenile found this one the most odious, as do I:

"Some of us must die so that the rest of us can live."

Besides the fact that a troubled person takes his own life, and thus other struggling people can step up on the lost lives of  those who died, there is one Person who died, so that the rest of us can live:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3: 16)

To think that anyone would dismiss His death and resurrection with the deaths of other people who were looking for something better. . .
