Washington Post Challenges AA Effectiveness

(We're addicted to rehab. It doesn't even work.)

Does Teen Drug Rehab Cure Addiction or Create It? (TIME Magazine- quite a lot of diggs on that one - published Friday, Jul. 16, 2010 )

*************ARCC - Straight, Inc. - A Must SEE!!!*************

 

 

I no longer give this as much time as I once did but the two articles above alone prove, at the very least, that what I had to say might have been worthwhile... oh well... I am glad I did not just shut up and fall into line - the next time you challenge someone about 'recovery', or doubt their sobriety, or cleanliness, think about that. Being someone that dares to think for myself it was never that hard to deal with the doubters; in fact I welcomed them - they reminded me of my comfort zone. What amazed me most of all was the ease in which those that claimed to 'know me' would write me off... quite often for displaying the characteristics that they had once admired in me -AA must be right - the instant I displayed the slightest sign of being an 'addict', I must be crazy, nuts, or in need of serious help...  Talk about all or nothing thinking…

Much has happened in my life since I left AA, none of it relevant to this site. It is for that reason that I have chosen to leave the site as it was when I closed it. For anyone truly interested in this process witnessing the transition of my thoughts during the early days will only be of benefit. How you end up regarding me means nothing to me... That is, ultimately, what I feel my reward is for challenging an outdated, not to mention, dangerous program.

Thank you.
