Stepping Stones, the pilgrimage spot of Alateen, Al-Anon and Alcoholics Anonymous is planning the 62nd Annual Stepping Stones Family Groups Picnic, 12 noon-5pm on Saturday June 1, 2013. For 61 years the AA Mecca of the historic home of Bill and Lois Wilson on 62 Oak Road in Katonah, New York has been a magnet for this picnic on the first Saturday in June. You will be provided a chance to pay homage to Bill Wilson and you can still see where the miracles happened.
Here is some artwork that was done for a dustjacket for the big book.
Note the subtitle "Their Pathway to a CURE" Ha!
The AA apologists insist that Bill W. and AA have never said drinking lots of alcohol is a disease, but yet here we have artwork that was commissioned for the big book as a dust cover that implies a disease by the use of the term "Cure". Before the publishing of the big book in 1939. Just more proof of one of the many lies that laid the foundation of AA.

i had some funny things happen that make me believe in the supernatural - now whether it helped me get sober or not is besides the point. i'm sort of a schism in this regard, half of me believes and half doesn't depending on the day or the situation or which side of my brain i use. well I'm usually pretty stable I'm just saying. i'm a wandering free thinker on the subject.
The fifth edition of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5, DSM-V) is planning on hitting the book stores next month. The DSM-5 is the new bible of the liberal artists that define mental illness, addiction and the substances or actions that they diagnose people with for a few hundred dollars an hour and then send them to rehab at about a $1000 a day. With this new tool, scam artists will be able to spawn newer cottage industries that they can get insurance companies to pay for.
This diet is perfect but the people who follow it are imperfect, that's why most people on this diet gain weight.
The law firm is perfect but the lawyers are not, so you'll have to put up with the fact most cases the firm takes on are lost.
Our government is perfect but the elected officials are not so just smile and let them pass any law they want - don't complain.
Corporate America is perfect but the people running the corporations aren't, so don't complain about the economy crashing - just put up with those imperfect greedy bastards.
Not posted for a while, maybe a break was what was needed to really realise the absolute nonsense of this 12 step thing. I know this thing kills and screws minds up, but this book, the BB, is total garbage. I dont understand now how I ever took this stepper garbage serious.
This is from a story titled A Drunk Like You in the 4th edition of the Big Book. Notice the shifting that goes on here on pg 399-400:

I keep going to AA meetings even though they lost much of their attraction. Actually, I feel more disconnected with each meeting I attend. It never use to be this way, I always enjoyed a close kinship with the people of AA. For 24 years I've benefited from the groups' wisdom, the camaraderie, and watching people rise above dreadful conditions. I've taken pleasure connecting with AA members and I liked the feeling of being accepted no matter what AA door I passed through whether the door was in another city or another state.

There was a time that I " drank like a pig " probably threw up more alcohol than some folks consumed. Did this for quite few years and at one point was conned into believing ,when I was very young to seek out AA, with promises of fellowship, connections, and "true happiness' in the form of sobriety.
19 months after the death of Karla Brada finally , finally a pre trial date. I went all the way out there and missed the few moments I waited for last time...that took all day ....but today was different.
Eric Allan Earl is going to go to trial for the alleged murder of Karla Brada , daughter of Hector and Jaro Mendez, two of the sweetest , most wonderful people.
Sponsorman: You did everything to make this private war happen. You've done enough damage. This mission is over, Pennywise. Do you understand me? This mission is over! Look at them "out there"! Look at them! If you won't end this now, you will relapse. Is that what you want? It's over, Penny. It's over!
Over 2.8 million hits in March - a new record. Soon going to be breaking the 3 million mark. The word must be getting out.
AA, AA, AA.
AA, AA, AA.
AA, AA, AA.
There's nothing you can do that can be done.
Nothing you can drink that can be drunk.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can be made.
No one you can save that can be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be someone else in time.
It's easy.
All you need is AA.
All you need is AA.
All you need is AA, AA.
AA is all you need.
