xenophon Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have no difficulty at all with your religious beliefs. It is a big world out there, with plenty of room for everyone.I have beliefs which are unlike yours. I take it as a matter of course that you have no difficulty with mine.Good fortune to you.

Tony J Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hey dawg, nice share.I agree with you in that I came to the very slow and painful realization that I am powerless over alcohol. Not only once I pick up the first drink, but I am powerless 'over' picking up the first one.The 'peculiar mental twist' as they call it. That seems to be one thing people who don't get AA can't understand. I finally understand it and it makes sense to me. If I could just 'not drink' I never would have gone to AA in the first place, let alone hung around for as long as I have.

xenophon Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 It is not about not getting it. It is about choice and making an informed judgement about methods. AA/12 step is one method which fits some people. It does not fit other people. That is exactly why options are available.

xenophon Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 It stands to reason that those two character types would have a problem fitting into AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenophon Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 That seems to be a major undertaking. You seem to have some enthusiasm for the task.Patience is a virtue that I have been known to perpetrate. Also, determined when determination is needed. You should read 'Anabasis' by Xenophon.
