I dont even know where to begin with your comment - its wrong on so many levels. I think I will go get some lunch and come back later today and comment. In the mean time will you please address the issue I ask you to attend to on the old blog site? Harry A.

Why Yes I have. It’s one of those wiser sayings that AA people love to beleive Bill and Bob created for the big book. But to get to your point - Who am I fighting? I am not fighting anyone. I am blogging or in jersey street terms ratting out on the 12 step hoax.

RE:”the gift of a loving god that you are sober today in spite of yourself…..”

Um that is your thinking. It is no longer mine. I am sober today because I went to a 5 day rehab where they locked me up and I had to stick it out. It was the first time in 2 or 3 years I had ever been sober for 5 days in a row. And I made the decision - without thinking of god - to stick with AA, CA and the rehab outpatient place at least for a while. And then at about the 6th month mark, the whole “without AA and the meetings and working the steps I’ll be doomed” thinking started to be in my head.

RE:”the gift of a loving god that you are sober today in spite of yourself. give up your sobriety if you are that resentful of it….”

Yeah Sorry but that is not my goal. I have addressed this already -it my second posting called “why dont I just drink”. But as the readers are aware of by now - not only do you not respond to what I write - you, by your own admission, “DONT CARE”.

RE:”you think you are unhappy now, consider what you’d be like if you were drunk and in the same position ”

You do that well. You should work for Fox News where they are Fair and Balanced. I WOULD NOT be in this position if it were not for following the 12 step program for too long. You want to pull that old line “If you are unhappy with sobriety, We’ll gladly refund your misery.” Well Not so fast there carsalesmen. I’ll take a refund, but I want a FULL refund. I want my 30’s and 40’s (i used) back, my hair back, my IRA, BOTH my 401k’s, YOU can have the 60 pounds I got in year 1 and never got rid of, I want my job of 7 years back, and most of all, the scratched up and dented BUT STILL WORKING self confidence back.

Thats’s all for now.
