Courts and AA
Courts send people to AA because for the most part judges and lawyers, like many people, are ignorant of what alcoholism is and what AA’s Primary Purpose is.
Like AA or not – Alcoholics Anonymous is for Alcoholics – DUH! - and to force people to the Fellowship, whether they are alcoholic or not, is just plain irresponsible.
It doesn’t do the non-alcoholic offenders any good because they cannot become members nor recover from an illness they do not actually have – and it doesn’t do AA any good because now AA has become top-heavy with non-alcoholics who THINK they HAVE become members.
So now AA is running wild with folks admitting they will “NEVER RECOVER” – and that’s OK with them. It is SO OK with them, that they tell real alcoholics that it should be OK for them too. And when a real alcoholic hears that he does not have to adopt a way of life and a process which requires drastic measures – such as AA’s Twelve Steps, HE GRABS IT! And many die.
Meanwhile the courts just keep on pumping up the AA fellowship with more and more defendants who not only don’t want to be there – and are useless dead weights to that altruistic Fellowship – but have NO REASON to be there either.
And they wonder why AA’s broad success rate has gone from 75% to 5% – because it is FULL of people who can’t recover from alcoholism – they haven’t GOT alcoholism! They got INDICTMENTS!
AA is not punis
hment. It’s a solution for a very few people who are true alcoholics. It is meant to serve as a way out of alcoholism for them – not a way out of jail-time for alcohol abusers.
It is insane! But there IS a solution: BOZONE
Peace,
