It is a wonderful website, has all kinds of valuable info. I want you to know, I have nothing against addicts, I am one, & I have friends that are. I just believe they (the ones coming into AA) are running from their disease by coming into AA, I'm talking about the pure addict, who is not an alcoholic, AA can't help them. Besides, an alcoholic should be able to come in to an AA meeting & get help for, & learn about alcoholism, & not have to listen to the addicts sharing about their drugs. Would an alcoholic go to an NA meeting for his alcoholism? This is a small town, & AA is being deluted, & seems to be shifting to the addict. It is kind of a lonely job, sticking by this principle. I blame the treatment centers who teach that a drug is a drug is a drug. Not so. Alcohol is not a narcotic, or addictive, if it were everyone would be addicted to it, but we have alot of normal drinkers out there, who can take it or leave it. I guess I'm being an AA nazi, why not? AA saved my life, & I intend to help preserve it for the next generation. I hope it is there for them. As well as NA, & the other programs.sharonsjourneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10397338051674165096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33346377.post-36153991173569135702007-11-17T08:51:33.321+08:002007-11-17T08:51:33.321+08:00Yes, it's good to hear from you! I like that about surrender & acceptance. I have surrendered, I believe I'm now accepting. One way I can tell, is that I'm not people pleasing so much. I don't need that validation from others so much. As I know & accept myself more, I know more what I stand for, whether anybody else agrees or not. It feels good. I'm glad to hear you're going to be posting more often. Hope you get to feeling better. Take care, my friend.sharonsjourneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10397338051674165096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33346377.post-58105599966589171452007-11-15T16:39:28.498+08:002007-11-15T16:39:28.498+08:00hey! good to hear from you... you make so much sense, that's why!! i like that willingness and acceptance bit. well put!<BR/><BR/>and my oh my, don't i also hear it daily: what, on the blog again... oh well, i like it!Shadowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.com
