News: AA Still Sucks.
Just this week, I saw the new South Park Episode in which After Randy Marsh gets a DUI, he attends an AA meeting and ultimately decides to drink more. After a few minutes, he realizes he should have just cut down on his drinking. In this article, I will explain the facts of AA to you. In America, 1 in 13 people have Alchohol Problrms. Fortunately, I am one of the other 12. Because of the Alchohol Problem, 12 Step Programs are Booming, and Drugs are just the Tip of the Iceberg. Other 12 Step programs non-drug related are crusading against Pack Ratting, Cross Dressing, Debt, Emotions, Dysfunctional Families, Gambling, messiness, misogyny, Overeating, Sex, and profanity, among many others. One big thing about the 12-step program like these is that they are essentiaLLY religion. In essence, the 12 steps are admit your powerlessness, accept a higher Authority, turn over your life to said god, make moral inventory, admit your wrongs, Be ready to ask God remove all these defects, Ask God to remove them, make a list of all people you harmed, make amends to them, Admit future wrongs, pray, and spread the word. Another point is that they claim that Alchoholism is a disease. It is not a disease, but an addiction, and since all addictions are voluntary, it is purely a matter of behavior. They haven't Changed their methods in 70 years. Maybe it's because they're a religion or because their method is infallible, but of all the people who attended AA, only 5% of them still stay with the program. Oddly, they believe that they and their method of Bible-thumping is the only cure to it. Also, they work by replacing a time wasting, degrading compulsion/addiction/obsession with another time wasting, degrading compulsion/addiction/obession. The biggest wrong about AA is that the US Government fully supports it, despite being a cult, to the point that a 12-step sentence has been a staple of alchohol-related trials, and while this has been proven to be unconstitutional in a court of law, it still stands as a sentence. Want to quit drinking? Here's a One Step Program: JUST STOP DRINKING SO MUCH!!!!!!
band Name: AA Anonymous. Read above.
Movie Review: The Odd Couple II. Oscar and Felix are back to try to go to their Children's wedding. They cannot get to the wedding because they kept getting arrested. This film was the rare sequel that betters the original.
Movie Idea: Untitled. An intelligent Teenage DJ gets a letter by an Apostate of a Christian Sect focused on a college named Bijou University, and starts to start a Radio war on that College.
Quote of the Day: "No, cancer is a disease. My dad needs to drink less."

Get off your high horse and stop acting like you are so superior to everyone else. You said yourself that you have never had a drinking problem, so you don't know what it's like. There's a reason it's called an "addiction" and that's because you can't just "stop drinking" just like that. It's not that easy. Maybe when you grow up a little bit then your 15-year-old naive perception of reality will change to something a little more realistic and less self-centered.
Have you ever had a problem, J? You need to realise that People CHOOSE, albeit inadvertedly, to become addicted. It is a behavior. You make it seem like AA has actually proven itself to be successful and that they would be bankrupt by 2010 if the courts started to obey the constitution and stop sending people off to become members. Besides, it's not actual medicine for the problem, it's a placebo replacing one time wasting addiction with another time-wasting addiction. Either way, if it is a physical disease, why are you advocating treating it like a spiritual problem? This is like taking a cancer victim and trying to cure him with prayer. It will not work, and he will die because you will ignore the physical aspect.
Either way, I thank you for being the first person to reply without trying to advertise on my site.
