Question by Rebecca K: Is AA a cult?
I am mandated to attend AA. I believe with all my heart and sould that it is a psychologically damaging, ineffective, brainwashing cult. People tell me I am “in denial” and I am a dry drunk, destined for failure. I will end up in jail, an institution, or dead if I do not do the steps,,,,ie admit my character defects and make a list of people I have wronged. I tell them that I just made a mistake….(only drink once every 6 months before arrest) and I want to move on. I refused to label myself an alcoholic when I know it was just an immature mistake. How can I survive this cult?
Anyone thats says it is not a cult is an absolute moron. Oh I’m not facing who I am? Because I don’t believe I am a powerless person and dont want to become worthless like everyone else in AA? Because I am NOT an alcoholic and therefore I do not need help…..If I don’t drink why do I need to do the 12 steps? How will convincing myself I am powerless and telling myself I am worthless help me in life?
Haha a lot of coerced AAers must use yahoo answers. AA is a cult! Bottom line! Read AA:Cult or Cure or AA Unmasked: Deception and Deliverance. They will enlighten you!
I like how I specifically say “I am not an alcoholic” and people write “You have 5% odds of getting sober” Get sober?? I AM sober. And AA will be there when I need help? Help for what??? I am already sober….You guys are in a cult
I don’t know it is just funny to me…..People automatically assume that I have no “found Jesus” and that I am not religous….And if you have an OWI then boy oh boy you must be a troubled person with sex offender parents or a alcoholics as parents. People forget logic and make severe jumps in logic. They assume that just becaue you drove above the legal limit once you are a troubled, alcoholic. Afterall, we must jump to conclusions and make stereotypes. And we also assume that an OWI offender is not religious. You people need to take a class in logic!!

Question by Suki: How is that Japanese sake drink? Has anybody ever tried it?
It’s an alcoholic “wine-like” beverage popular in Japan and has been for hundreds of years. Has anybody ever drank it? If so, is it good and do they sell/serve it in the US?

Just curious. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by califblnd
Yes, they serve it in the U.S. It’s an acquired taste, very strong. Not as much like wine as I thought it would be. Reminded me more of a strong alcohol. It is very good (again an acquired taste). I like it warm but not cold. I absoutely have to have some when I go to a Japanese restaurant, goes great with the food.

You just have to try it and see if you like it!
