   Tia’s favorite color is purple on her dress. She always wears it everyday.

   Tia has no clothes on under the barrel and she has cleavage? Very impressive for a lady her age.

    How old is Tía Carmen anyway? She’s Sergio’s aunt and he looks he’s close to 50 years old.

    I have never been to an Indian Casino nor a tribal owned smoke shop; but, the Cherokee Nation has programs to help those addicted to smoking, drinking and gambling.

    The problem with the addiction “Anonymous” groups is that they never keep records of their results.

    I have met guys who seemed to be addicted to attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and they went to as many as seven of them a week and had been doing that for several years.

    While AA folks try to claim that they are not connected with a religion, a fundalmentalist type minister whose doctrine was what I call “Christianized Old-Testament Legalism” helped Bill W. develop the original program. They ignored the power of the Holy Spirit and the fact that God can heal people of their addictions.

    Step 1 is admitting you have a problem.

    Step 2 is admitting your bad at poker.

    Step 3 is remembering where you left your hotel key.

    JAD, in addition to being humor impaired, you know nothing about AA.

    Twelve Step programs (of which AA was the first) are built on the idea that one’s Higher Power IS essential in removing the problem. If your Higher Power is God, then that’s fine. There are some in AA who insist that God is the ONLY Higher Power that can remove one’s addiction, but that’s the position of those individuals and not the position of AA. If your Higher Power is The Force, that’s fine with AA. If your Higher Power is AA itself, that’s fine too. Whatever works.

    While characterizing itself as a “spiritual program”, AA is not in the business of saving souls; it’s in the business of getting people to stop drinking. Some people NEED to go to a meeting every day. Some people go to a meeting a month. And if the guy you met IS “addicted” to AA, it ain’t destroying his liver or cleaning out his bank account or driving his family away from him.

    For some people it works, and for some it doesn’t. It works as well as, if not better than, any other way of dealing with addiction. There’s no guarantee, but hey, it costs nothing to join.

    fritzoid, you probably won’t read this but I know a whole lot about AA and the actual history of it.

    When I was homeless for 6 weeks, except for the 1st 5 nights where I slept in a shelter, I stayed in a half-way house for drug addicts and alcoholics.

    Clark, who was my friend at church and a cousin of the pastor, was a drug counselor with the Tulsa Indian Health Care Resource Center. I went to visit him in the building where he worked and Bill, the pastor, showed up.

    He told Clark to find a place for me to stay and get me off the street. They both knew that I had no addictions. So, Clark made a referral to a half-way house that he worked with. The director of the place knew that I was not an addict either.

    One of the requirements for staying there was that one was required to attend the open to the public AA meetings which took place 2 times a week in the dining room. And one was required to read both the 12-Step Book and the Big Book, too.

    While the program by the 1990s, sort of downgraded “God” to just a “higher power,” the program really didn’t change.

    I knew about those who kept going to AA meetings several times a week because that merely kept them from going to bars to get drunk on those nights. They weren’t “recovering alcoholics;” they were just “I go to AA meetings to keep from getting drunk alcoholics.” They had no real life outside of AA and the program did them no good in reality.

    It wasn’t one guy who was addicted to AA meetings, it was several.

    While some people can claim that the AA program works, they don’t have any document proof that it actually does.

    By the way, a “recovering alcoholic” is still an alcoholic; but, a person healed alcoholism by the power of God’s Holy Spirit is no longer an alcoholic.

    Recovering alcoholics cannot even use mouthwash with alcohol in it nor can they take medicines containing alcohol.

    But, healed ex-alcoholics can even use products, including beverages, with alcohol in them and not even become re-addicted.

    fritzoid said, about 1 month ago

    I’ve got personal experience with it as well, and some recovering alcoholics can use mouthwash and some cannot.

    The documented proof that AA works is the guy in the back who has 40 years of sobriety, through AA. What documented proof do you have that anybody has had their alcoholism “healed” by the Holy Spirit?

    AA and religion are neither identical nor mutually exclusive. Pastors may send their parishoners to AA, and AA does not discourage anybody from attending church. I don’t know the relative success rates of those who call their Higher Power “God” and those who don’t, but I’ve seen successes and failures among both segments.
