You refer too Alcoholics Anonymous?
I was at the AL ANON group and found it ok, but strange.

@humongous Well, I was there 5-10 yrs ago. Let me try to recall.
Oh yes, one person was allowed to speak at once, I thought that was very correct and respectful.
BUT: We could not give much or any feedback on what they had said...
Not like ordinary groups, where you go back and forth and an exchange happens.
Not so at that one.
I felt restricted.
I did not go back.

@humongous You're welcome.
Also, in AA, isn't it also based on he fact that you relinquish your control into the hands of GOD or any kind of Deity? A Higher Power.
Am I correct?
I seem to recall something to that effect.
I know there are 12 steps.
I have seen on TV that they (supposedly) get tokens (success/ congratulatory chips ) for every year or month of sobriety.
So, if a person is an atheist/agnostic
are they in their mind the FKD, the hopeless and helpless; left in a vacuum?
That would not be at all just. Or fair OR KIND OR HUMAN :(
Let me know what I said is accurate, thanks.

@humongous I know about CBT, it does NOT in any way address the physical (NEUROLOGICAL) challenges of a withdrawal symptom.
Do you know what I mean?
I am NOT on K bc of any mental/emotional issues.
Rather, for insomnia.
Which, ironically, has never been worse.
I am totally unresponsive now to K
and I have to take OTC sleep pills.
FUCK YOU DOCTORS.
FUCK YOU PHARMACISTS
FUCK YOU BIG PHARMA.
FUCK THIS BULL SHIT.
P.S. My therapist is up to speed on all the greatest and latest therapies,
but thanks just the same :)
