Post 121: AA Problem 2 of 2

This is another quote from a group of AA members in Britain: The second major problem is the program today is forced on people who have merely had isolated incidents in their lives and are not real alcoholics. Why are these major problems with the AA program? Consider this: Not everybody who is introduced into AA is a “true” alcoholic. Keep in mind that the founder of the program, Bill Wilson, was drinking two to three bottles of bathtub gin a day. These are the kinds of people who need AA, but today’s AA is mostly void of these kinds of people. Good analysis.

Post #120: AA Problem 1 of 2

This quote is from a group of AA members in Britain: One major problem I see with AA is the way members of the program diagnose an “alcoholic.” They pretty much assume that if you are there at a meeting, you have a hopeless “disease” in which you either work the program or die an alcoholic death. If you are not working the program you are a “Dry Drunk.” If you question whether or not you are an “alcoholic” you are most definitely in denial. I had members of AA tell me this after my first meeting without even knowing me personally or my drinking background. Good for them. Read second problem in next Post.
