Why is smoking so widely accepted?
I mean society has smoke anon meetings in fact me madre' used to go there.
You don't hear about no smokers lives becoming unmanageable because of cigarettes unless they are in prison where your ass will get cold murdered for one lousy fag !!!
Smoke anon meetings aren't a big deal cos' men dont' generally domestically beat their wives just cos' they toke on the marbs, and women don't divorce their kep man cos she can't get off the fucking smoke.
But hey, if you were an alcoholic or a drunk or a shooter or a snorter or a fucker or a rockstar or a dealer or a doper or a addict or whatever the fuck you call druggy slang for what you did when you used to, it probably didn't stop you from lighting up the socially acceptable cig when you bummed one or bought some to smooth the high.
And when you came off that shit or if you know someone who does smoke and you told them to quit and they still did it, too, then you are just as dumb of a fuck as when you were off the wagohn especially if you allow yourself to hang out with secondhand smoke.
Smoking kills more folk than alcohol does bitch.
But the effects of smoking aren't seen, they just make you want more cigarettes, more more more cos of the nicotine. And you wake up hating the person next to you and you can hardly move until you light a smoke.
Next time you light a smoke or are near somebody who does; think to yourself 'I am not a drunk'.
When you have to put a fucking vibrator to your damn throat so people can half understand your fuckin robotic go-bot transformer voice; say to yourself 'I am not a drunk'.
Hey, aren't those steps magic cos' so many people use them

Can you see the whole wasted process of public betterment through particular nonprescribed strange steps to placate one addiction to find another more acceptable addiction
That's why so much resentment about using the numbered steps. So many people have taken the last word in the title 'A.A.' and totally misrepresented and bastardfuckingized what the definition of that last word means. And you do need respect for others when it comes to counseling to others without more more more years of mad schooling and internships and All that shit when you say shit like 'Hey, these things work if you work 'em'. That's why even non Straight survivors can hardly step into meetings without some form of neat 'relapse' as you've coined it, without hating people like Mel and the cigarette industry and even some shifty eyed, needy lifer 'alcoholic' hoping to god you will pick Them as your sponsor turning 'anonymous' experience into a cluster fuck ridicule and public prejudice fest. Guess I'm not being too anonymous. I can show my ass, too, and call my sobatical an anonymous therapy that you need to get 'deprogrammed' of what you just saw. I will write a book because My steps will change your life if you work only these steps, if you don't work them then you will burn in hell or relapse because God inspired them himself. It's up to you to 'help yourself' and listen to these steps and follow them exactly to the letter.
I need a cigarette.
