I'm curious how you treat alcoholics who show up to a meeting and decide AA isn't for them.
Would you continue to offer your support and be friendly or treat them as though (for lack of a better phrase) they had "left the fellowship"?
What troubles me it the exclusive club kind of attitude I see as opposed to seeing your fellow alcoholics suffering and saying "we're all in this together".
Obviously I "don't get it". And if that is the answer when people ask questions I'm not sure I want to "get it".
I can make Kool-Aid in my own kitchen, I don't need to sit in a church with a bunch of other drunks to enjoy Kool-Aid.
And you think it's "hilarious" when people try to find other solutions?
I find the taste of medicine a bit more palatable than Kool-Aid and slogans, why is that funny?
Fucking prejudiced bigot asshole. Remember how I said that EVERYONE is a bigot because nobody is perfect?
I'm not gonna say you don't deserve to have been born into western society but I am going to say that you have been incredibly narrow minded.

I'm only attempting to hold up a mirror. I admitted that I can be a bigot. Can you?
I can see you have displayed blind contempt for people who do things differently than you do. Rise above it and just admit you can be prejudiced too, or don't.
I'm not even talking racial prejudice, I'm talking other people's efforts to become sober because they aren't taking the same path as you.
That is the exact same thing you have been accusing other posters of.
Some folks go to doctors who are educated in the field of medicine. Some people go to homeopaths. See where I'm going with this?
EDIT: AND I didn't show up here to beat up on you. I have posted before about finding your stories interesting. I was responding to another poster's assertion that AA had some kind of long track record of success. It doesn't. It also isn't some kind of weird freaky coincidence that the majority of posters feel that way.

Back in the 90s when I visited AA and NA groups it was a no-no for the NA people to mention that they went to NA or that they abused anything but alcohol at an AA meeting. The drunks would cop an attitude or question the presence of a non-alcohol substance abuser. It was kind of funny and really sad at the same time. Drunks seem to feel superior to other types of drug addicts who are trying to recover and might be looking for a little extra support or whose schedule or transportation wouldn't let them find an NA meeting somewhere.

My point was more that it isn't hilarious when people develop drugs to help with addiction.
I was trying to point out that rational skepticism favors the examination of new approaches over sticking to the approach that hasn't been proven in 60+ years.

You should celebrate with a few ice cold brews. It's only some beers, you can handle that easily.

Best paper I've read on the efficacy of AA- http://hindsfoot.org/recout01.pdfBasically, what Bill W. said decades ago still holds up. 3 or 4 out of 5 who initially come to a meeting don't stick. Maybe they come back later. Of those who stay and really try, about half achieve long term sobriety from the start. Another quarter make it after a slip or few. Like I have observed, if you can tough it out for 3 months and get through a fourth and fifth step, you have a good chance at a sober, happy life. It works if you work it.

From my online group, mod brings up a topic: Being August, time for Step 8- "Made a list of people we had armed, and became willing to make amends to them all." And gets this immediate reply: If I had 'armed' all of the people on my list, I wouldn't be alive today.

that's a passive aggressive response. He's indirectly implying that he should have eliminated those that could be threats to him today. Boot that fucker from the group before he brings the rest of you down with him.

I got blackout drunk last week and apparently left my (empty) wallet and iPhone in a taxicab. I was looking all over the house for them and decided the cab driver had just stolen my shit. The next day, I got a call from the police saying a Good Samaritan was walking along the street on the complete other side of town and found my shit and turned it into the police. I picked my stuff up and not a single thing was missing from my wallet and my phone is in almost perfect condition. Therefore, I learned nothing from this experience.

AA is the biggest pile of worthless worm shit to disgrace this already useless mud ball called Earth. Are you fucking kidding me? If anything I'm trying to drink more. A stupid ineffectual worthles cult is all AA ever amounts to. (I've had about 10 drinks in 3 hours, hopefully I can have at least 10 more)

You honestly haven't had one single drink in 25 years?

That didn't exactly answer my question. So you have had no alcohol whatsoever in 25 years? No slip-ups?
