No, Wet Noodle, nobody said you were never addicted to anything. I'll take your word for it, but w/ a grain of salt. If you haven't used in so many years, odds are very, very slim that what you are was, far less are, is an addict.
What Anon said and I echoed (a dozen times using various words and phrases) is that
neither you nor anyone else is powerless over substances or addiction.
You want a method that's just as effective, if not more so, than the 12-step method? Ok, how about the merchant method? Instead of going to meetings, just quit going to the dealer? Simple, huh? And 100% effective, if you work it. Also less time consuming, 0 mindfucking and overall just a better solution.
Shady, it doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree. It's not my opinion or anon's that the courts, certification boards and other people in positions of authority are coercing so many people in this country and abroad into 12-step indoctrination under threat of imprisonment or loss of livlihood. It's objective, documented fact. And, according to at least four different courts, also a violation of the seperation clause.
And it doesn't matter whether you approve of the practice or not. Who in the hell do you
think is promoting these stupid policies? Non steppers? No, that's doubtful. I'm fairly certain that it's stepcraft believers and practitioners behind this.
The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie-deliberate, contrived, and dishonest-but the myth-persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
--John F. Kennedy, U.S. President
