I would just like to say that this board has reached an all time low. The comment of "when your sobriety is dropped kicked to the gutter..." has got to be the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. From what I understand AARC is about teaching the 12 steps and then very clear that if you want to stay sober go to AA and live in recovery. Now if you are not sober and want to blame AARC go right ahead. Really it is something entertaining to read in the morning. However you fuckin idiot if you go to AA your sobriety won't be dropped kicked. I am not a big fan of what goes on at AARC and think that that part of my life is over with and it is time to move on. However I am sober and happy and that is thanks to AA and AARC and if you aren't try a meeting...

I found out about this site a while ago, I've been reading what goes on here. It is at an all time low but it will get worse. That's what it does, just get worse.
People posting here mostly just want to justify their stoned out lives. That's what true but below the surface. They don't admit it up front but when you watch thier posts over time it's pretty obvious. All the righteous indignation over one school or another it's really about somebody took away their drugs and they've been pissed off ever since

My OPINION, allow me to repeat...my OPINION after spending over 20 years in the field, after spending countless hours in both undergrad and grad school pouring over the academics surrounding such issues, and lastly after experiencing what I did in my own stepcraft based program, it is my OPINION that sobriety is analagous to your favorite drinking glass in the kitchen. It may look pretty as it sits in your favorite cabinet (cupboard in Canada?), but the days are numbered. It is destined to fall to the ground and shatter into a million pieces, eventually. You can try to care for the fragility of it all day and night, but eventually and more than likely, the glass will be broken. If you die sober, kudos to you. You should be commended for living a life of conviction and determination. However, if you do not, then you fall into a categorically common statistic.
I hope your sobriety works for you and I am glad that AARC has played such a significant part in improving your quality of life. However, frankly I think (again, my own OPINION) is that AARC has adopted some very controversial and possibly even dangerous treatment modalities used to treat adolescents in need.
Maybe indeed this board has gone downhill as you mentioned, but it is undeniable that it provides for a great medium for those in favor of the program to speak out against those opposed to it and vice versa. Yes yes?
You suggested a meeting...I haven't the time, I have an appointment to smoke a joint as fat as your left arm in about an hour.
:smokin:

Who cares about your 20 years in the field, who cares about your statistics? I am talking about taking care of your own life, the only one you've got and of living it instead of hiding behind drugs or booze or statistics to explain why it just isn't possible to beat the odds or the predictions of losers like you. People,you can do this!!! Don't let the cult of failure and weakness at this site convince you otherwise. And I don't think the comment about the joint is half an hour is a joke your way of thinking says that it isn't

Your are in favor of AARC and you mention "cult" when you refer to this site????? You ARE wayyy jaded!!! I didn't mention 20 years etc to impress you by any means (pffft!), I mentioned what I have learned and what I believe in my own humble OPINION!
I agree with you, odds are meant to be broken and I hope you remain sober as long as you desire to do so. Steps, big books, cigg smoking, and coffee chugging cross addicted recovering alcoholics make me break out in a rash. If it makes you comfortable, grrreat! Different strokes for different folks. Forums like this are about celebrating differences. I beg to differ with your philosophy and AARC rationale. We disagree, whoopee shit!
You go to a meeting and I'll go smoke a joint.
My comment about the joint was NOT a joke at all, I don't mean to be funny. It's a quality of life that I choose of my own freewill sans influence or coercion.
I am late for TBPITW, gotta go~~
