AA Prescribes Relapse!

Could it be any clearer?

AA prescribes relapse! This lady gives the impression that AA inadvertently subverts an individual's capacity to break an addiction to alcohol.

I now know and believe that Bill W. and his ill ilk created a cult which claimed to help people, but in reality it keeps people sick and dependent, so that they will "keep coming back."

The whole program works on reframing a person's identity. Imagine that, waking up every day, and hearing in your mind that you are "an alcoholic", and there is no hope for you to escape this terrible disease.

30% of chronically addicted individuals do break free on their own, so no wonder about 3-5% who use the program get sober, because they would have gotten sober, anyway. The program has no evidence whatsoever that it works

The program creates a culture of chemically depressed people who give their chemically depressed stories so that they will live on in their chemically depressed lives.

No wonder I was having so much troubles as a kid.

No wonder lie on life's terms was not all that it is cracked up to be.

No wonder so many things were not working out in my life.

I had believed that AA was a program that worked -- that was something that I "knew" that wasn't so.
