RE: "...usually alcoholics can't control themselves, so they try to control everybody else"

Hmmm, that sure does sound like an A.A. sponsor, doesn't it?

Was that an inadvertent Freudian slip?

“This is a spiritual program,” she said. “My understanding of God has changed so much in the last three years.”

Door knob?

“A lot of people’s understanding of God is of a God who is hostile to them,” he said. “One of the things that the 12 Step Program allows people to learn is that’s not a true concept of who God is."

So does the stepper god/door knob now still work miracles for you if you leave the stepper cult?....instead of abandoning you to jails, institutions and/or death like he used to do?

"She concluded, “At the end of every meeting, we hold hands, and we say the Lord’s Prayer, and then we say, ‘Keep coming back. It works if you work it.’”

They really do beg for the piss to be taken out of them....these stepper crackpots LOL

Imagine admitting THAT to a reporter, the mind boggles LOL They really do not realise how barmpot crazy they are....that is Real Insanity

To get away with the barmpot cult of steppism once with AA was a major achievement, how did it manage to clone, when it doesn't even work?

Reading the articles comments made me laugh

This article was linked in an A.A. hate forum. You may see a lot of biased criticism because, there exists a minuscule sect of the population that have a prejudicial hate for any 12 step program.

Many in the program say the program works. You make your own call. "

I would suggest that the viewing audience, take with a grain of salt what some of the posters will be saying here. They know not what they say. Most of it is immature rants, intentionally written to derail more intelligent conversation.

wrong oh there first things first, my opening comment on the article was that it contained a comment section below, so obviously i had read it. I found the article amusing, in my humble opinion it was all about promotion rather than attraction and described a religous program as opposed to a spirtual one.
