Thank you for my blog
It occurred to me I haven’t given my thanks nor acknowledgements where I need to give them. You just don’t wake up one morning and decide to make a blog. You absolutely don’t wake up one morning and decide to take on AA and the 12 step program in a blog where you share the deepest and most sincere inner feelings you have.
Courage or big balls or just stupidity and foolishness, what ever it takes and where ever I got it from, I have some acknowledgements to make. So I will make them here in this post. If you got it, play some Lou Reed on the puter while you read this, and when you are done reading, turn up Lou really loud.
Thank you to the women of the Human Resources departments.
Thank you to the sales people who decided to start a business in the I.T. recruiting industry.
Thank you to all the 23 year olds who decided to try out a career as an I.T. recruiter.
Thank you to all the managers who hired I.T. recruiters to read resumes.
Thank you to all the local democrats of CA and NJ who wouldn’t allow me to apply for federal grants funded job training at their WIN offices.
Thank you to all the republican senators who cut job training services like WIN and JPTA.
Thank you to all the illegal aliens (and MORE importantly their U.S. supporters) who used the federally funded job training services and state and county funded healthcare services.
Thank you to all the Californians who believe an east coast accent is a sign of aggression.
Thank you to all the people in AA and CA who have gotten magical lives of success from sobriety.
Thank you to all the sober people with secure futures and intolerant Christian republican views.
Thank you to all the single sober women of southern California’s 12 step community.
Thank you to all the sober friends who suggested I work, for the 2nd time in sobriety, at a minimum wage job.
Thank you to all the sober friends who believed what the drinking and drugging roommates said rather than what I said.
Thank you to all the SOBER Californians who think an east coast accent shows a lack of humility.
Thank you to all the people who didn’t and still don’t want to hear it.
Without you, this blog would not exist. So for the last sixteen and a half years of my life, of all of my sober life, a big THANK YOU. This blog’s for you!
And dont forget the golden rule: If they arent good looking and wealthy, what they have to say isnt true. They are just complaints from losers.

Sober since December 7th, 1989 (Still!) Ok, now turn up the Lou Reed really loud.

Hi there, I’m new to blogging so be patient with me. Your first post - thank God for it as I relate to it so much. I’m an ex stepper from aa of 20 years indoctrination. Thought I was going mad until I googled “abusive aa” and it just led from there. I realized it was a cult once I became internet savvy and started doing some research - that was only a month ago. During my years in aa I had done some reading regarding cults, charismatic groups etc and have spent time out of the meetings. The thing that still hurts the most is the realisation that “fellowship” is another word for “bullshit” when it comes to “friendship” in the meeting rooms. Needless to say I had the odd male or two keeping in touch with “no strings attached”. However, I dumped the losers as they were completely nuts and under the delusion that they were trying to “save me” from relapse. I have also discovered that I don’t suffer from any type of alcoholism, heavy drinking or other problem-associated drinking. There doesn’t appear to be any problem at all with booze. Sometimes I have a glass of beer but mostly I don’t bother. I can control and enjoy my drinking. (Why aren’t their hats off to me?) I heard that there is a photo frame in the GSO headquarters in New York. Apparently it’s there for the picture of the alcoholic who can drink successfully. I think we should send our photo’s and blow their minds. It would at least give some poor slob something to think about. I think it would be worth it and I’m going to do it. Shall let you know the result. Keep blogging. Am going to listen to a bit of Janis now - “Piece of my Heart”.

They wouldnt tip their hats to you because of course you apparently were never an alcoholic of our type. Yeah you can find LOTS of humility in AA except if its time for them to fess up to one or more of their mistakes.
welcome to my blog, thanks for participating with your comments and KEEP COMING BACK! (lol)
