Dissection of Step Words (Part II)

I did powerlessness yesterday, so i thought it would be good to go into disease today. I have been putting some thought into it, and I have come up with some disturbing ideas!

So lets take a look shall we? Just like yesterday, I will first define it according to Step, then show the reality, and then place a judgment on the word!

Here we go...

AA Monopoly

The new game soon to be sweeping the recovery world!!!

Anyone who's been to AA will know of the plethora of AA merchandise there is for sale. The books, the jewelry, the stickers, the t-shirts, more books, the cards, the prayer boxes, the CDs - and did I mention the fucking books? The list goes on and on.

Dissection of Step Words (Part I)

The last time I was in a treatment center, I heard a story from one of the "counselors" that told of how the idea of powerlessness came up in one of his classes. The girl who brought up the concept said she didn't like the idea that people with addiction issues were told they were powerless.

The Rise of SYNANON and Charles Diederich using the Bill Wilson LSD Ouija Board Business Model of Alcoholics Anonymous

The link between SYNANON, Straight, Inc, The Seed, Elan School and Bill Wilson is often missed by the casual observer, but for those that are familiar with these teen torture camps for fun and profit, the link is very obvious because the confrontational therapy model they employed all came from the teachings of Charles E. "Chuck" Dederich, Sr., (1913–1997) who was enrolled in the same LSD study from the University of California that Bill Wilson was in during 1957 (http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/3430).

Cult Test

I found this, just for a bit of fun at first, but was surprised by how they define a cult.

By my reckoning AA scores 33, but I may be a bit biased. Have a go and see how you rate them.

Let's have a laugh

WE had a blog on here about a year ago, maybe more, where people posted funny YouTube links re AA. It seems like a good time to resurrect it, and hopefully add to it, as we seem to have quite a flow of new people coming in.

Here's 3 links to get the ball rolling
