					<description>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".</description>

					<description>RE:"&lt;em&gt;(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. &lt;/em&gt;

They wouldnt tip their hats to you because &lt;strong&gt;of course&lt;/strong&gt; you apparently were never an &lt;u&gt;alcoholic of our type&lt;/u&gt;. 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.
