SAFE RECOVERY

I will finish up from last week my discussion on how viable AA's 12 Traditions are today compared to when they were written in 1945. Has the world changed since then? Has AA changed since then?

"No opinion on Outside issues" have you heard this phrase and thought.."that sounds like an excuse". That it is being taken out of context.  I know  women who were grabbed inside a meeting?

Its okay for Bill Wilson to be in the press, have movies made about himself to promote AA after he is dead, and he even went to Washington to testify in front of the senate to promote AA.  But in the traditions it's ask it's member's to make the group more important then the individual. Sounds like Communism to me. What do you think?

Join Massive and call in our chat to ask questions and make comments.

What exactly are the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. Are they rules? Are they Laws that over ride the Laws of our constitution? 

Are they cult phrases that are being misinterpreted? Did Bill Wilson write them when he was taking alot of LSD to cure his alcoholism and his depression? 

What are the 12 Concepts? 

Are Board members and trustees responsible for protecting the society's members? Is this made accountable by a Law in our Constitution. 

Is the Constution of The United States over -riden by AA's 12 Tradition's. Join myself and other bloggers for an indepth debate and discussion and a serious misunderstood matter or "Principals Over Personalites". 

How far does the rights of anonymity have over hiding and covering up criminal sexual and financial behavior in AA meetings and it's culture.

Join myself and blogger Dennis from Orange- Papers forum  for a show that tells the tale of what it is like to grow up with parents deeply immersed in AA.

WHat's REAL? Which is it? Religion. Faith Healing. Addiction Program forced on you by the COURTS of the United States of America. Is this the 1600's? 

What is meant by a spiritual program? Why do they get to tell you "HOW TO PRAY" and who you can pray for" 

Who is really in charge of AA. If no one is why are AA sponsors bossing you around? If no one is responsible or in charge why are they paying themsleves 400k a year to run the big fancy office in NYC on Riverside Drive? 

How do priests really feel about AA? 

The 9th Circut Court of Appeal has deemed AA too religious in many states including California. So why does someone get sent  50 AA meetings by a Judge in 2012? Is he breaking the law? Is he responsable and liable if she gets raped by an AA guy? How bout shot in the head? FYI This Has already happened this year...
