Alcohol Recovery Without 12 Steps Community Group
This group was created to explore various recovery paths for Alcoholism. We generally chose to explore paths outside of the AA model, or ones which incorporate, but are not limited to AA. Anyone wanting to learn and explore how to become free from alcohol addiction are welcome. Our main goal is to support each other with compassion and decency, while remaining open minded...
But if you think this site is like a bad joke, then just go elsewhere.
I don't think of this site as a joke, and have usually found useful comments.
I think if Agent Orange was not so seething in his tirade against AA more people in that program would be open to reading them. As it is Orange's tone in the papers turns off a lot of people in AA and so they rush to make that sometimes fatal mistake of contempt prior to investigation. Perhaps he chose to seeth so those whom the 12-steps failed would immediately identify when reading them for the first time.
