AA Causes High Blood Pressure?

Someone very close to me, the one who taught me the AA Way of Life, the same one who forced me to go to AA meetings when my life was unraveling.

The same person, who died trying to work this program, had a high blood pressure problem.

She was taking pills for the ailment.

She was under a lot of stress, certainly, one of many causalities of a program which forces you to look over your shoulder frequently, to keep an eye on yourself, yet at the same time a program which deludes people into believing that the answer to life's problems lies in squashing one fire after another.

I never understood why the people in my life struggled with so much stress in their lives.

I never understood why I had a problem with high blood pressure, until I learned about the deleterious effects of not entering into the New Covenant:

"26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10: 26-27)

Here, the context bears out that "sin wilfully" means to keep on offering dead works, to offer animal sacrifices to atone for sins, when God has offered the once and for all final sacrifice of His darling Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

He is the ongoing, active, ever-present, ever-lavishing sin offering, whose blood keeps on cleansing us from all sin.

As long as we sense that things are not always right, or that there is something more that we must do to maintain our righteousness, then we never rest, and our bodies will pay the price.

These consequences include high blood pressure.

The AA racket must bring in a lot of business of the healthcare, mental illness, government dependence industry.

What a disgrace!
