What Is the Real Reason Alcoholics Anonymous Condemns the Use of Personal Willpower?
Question by abnjim5: What is the real reason Alcoholics Anonymous condemns the use of Personal Willpower?
In consistance with my continuing inspection of AA doctrine, I am convinced that these cultists use the “willpower” issue to indoctrinate desperate drug addicts (alcohol is a drug) into their midst. Interestingly, AAers believe that the use of willpower can only lead them to another drink of alcohol, relapse, and a life of addiction. To further their recruit strategy of the unsuspecting “newcomer”, they tell him that he is in “denial” if they disagree with this concept.
Unfortunately, there is no shortage of AAers in this US society and the world. Afterall, we need people of this mentality to keep the Bush’s in office and the 30 million of them vote Republican! But wait, perhaps human willpower can be used for the good and stop the warring or is that not possible without a “higher power”.
What TYPE of PERSON AM I?
Question by Malcom Revvoy: What TYPE OF PERSON AM I?
I think it started as an obsession but I don’t know. In my early life like when I was 7, I was subject to rape and violence in the media because when I was young, I showed an intense interest horror films and horror shows. During my early school year, I had a tough time obeying the rights of others and I would often show sexual behavior towards women, and weird and erotic behavior around my friends. In my 5th grade class, I got suspended from school for a week because me and an other friend just kept laughing, at nothing. She first said we were suspended for 3 days but then we just kept laughing and we eventually were suspended for the full week and had to go to this dilenquint correctional facility for special people because they thought there was something mentally wrong with us. In high school I was quiet, didn’t say a word to any of the students except just a few, it wasn’t because I was really shy, it was because I just didn’t care much for them. Everyone acted to prestigious and too mature and I didn’t like that in people. I like hanging around with kids that had a dark side and were into violent behavior. in sophomore year of high school I was home schooled and then that’s when everything started to break loose. I couldn’t maintain school. I stayed in my room most of the time CRAZY bored and not knowing what to do. My parents were always gone so I could always do and watch whatever I wanted to which was typically violent and sexual shows and everything grew from there. Then I started to have an INTENSE obsession with trying to become a manipulative apathetic genius, otherwise, a psychopath. I think I had an inner psycho strand in me and I because of my sensitive cut out appearance, I started getting away with lies and started manipulating people into my doing. Then I started getting on yahoo answers, desiring something to keep my stimulative attitude going by asking “Am I a psychopath” just to try and spark fear in someone into saying “yes you are, get help” I wasn’t going to get help, I was only going to try and get better. I’m seriously like a drugged freak who cannot stay away from the thing he is addicted to and that addiction is a mental illness. But before all this, I think I did have a mental illness because whatever I am addicted to, I can’t break away from it which point me more toward to being an alcoholic or something of that sort. But I am anti-social, normally I’m occupied when I stay by myself and when I’m around people, I don’t relate to them because they act so different from me. I can’t fit everything I’m like in a few paragraphs but if I kept going about everything I did it would be about 40 paragraphs. But based on my obsessive nature, and erotic and weird behavior I am typically unable to control. What would I have? Please don’t say I’m normal, I need to know from a SMART psychologist what I might have to help get me under control?

At What Point Would You Say Someone Is an Alcoholic?
Question by New Moon Daughter: At what point would you say someone is an alcoholic?
and not just a heavy drinker?
Like when is it at the point–in your opinion– that you say “hey, this person has a problem, and they need an intervention?”
Best answer:
Answer by Taken by a Texan
I’d say when they absolutely need to drink. If they can’t go a day without drinking, or when they do drink they get absolutely wasted. People who can’t find a “happy medium” with drinking are probably the ones who end up being alcoholics.
