Open Free for All / Re: AA and TC.s - How It Went So Wrong....????

Someone who does not have the experience, seeks out someone who does to find the answer.  That is the wisdom of life.  If my experience, strength and hope can help someone to stay straight and sober today, then so be it, no matter who the messenger is.  If what you do works for you, Danny, more kudos to your HP.  Always remember that you do not do this alone. But to force those beliefs onto someone else through promotion is not HP's will, but self-will and ego.  I vote for attraction and chose to follow those who walk the walk and not just talk the talk.   Intolerance of anything or anyone without experential knowledge and full understanding is foolish and unwise. And since I am not the HP anymore, I do not have full understanding. There are many paths to recovery.  Each must find their own path.  The one that worked for me was the first 164 pages of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.  The only program of AA is outlined in those pages.  If you are thoroughly following those pages, you are working AA.  Otherwise, you have found another path that seems to work for you and I am happy that you have found that path.  It is not wise to "rain on someone else's parade" and judge them as wrong.  We do not have the right to judge others.  That is only the purview of the HP.

Thank you for another day of being a part of my sobriety each of you.

For Those of you that think I am an illusion of Felice's mind, think again!  I do indeed exist and have been straight and sober in AA for 28 years.

I do want to correct one thing that was stated, however.  I did not say that neither of you were working your program.  I stated that neither of you were working THE program.  The one outlined in the first 164 pages of the Big Book.  That is the only program of AA I know works ("thoroughly followed our path").  In that program, we DO NOT take each other's inventories and work under HOW, honesty, openness and willingness.  Some of the points you both make are valid and I will store them away for future reference.  Some of them are not AA principles and I choose to not internalize them or comment on them.  The program is one of attraction, rather than promotion.  Those that come, even if court/system ordered, if they like what we have to offer, will stay past the required time.  Others may need to find another path or try their own way (how does that work for You?) a little longer to find the answer.  But, at least staying straight and sober, gives time to clear the mind and gives one choice.  When I was using, I felt I had no choice.  Today I have choice.  'Nuf said for now.
