The Truth and Statistics about Alcohol Abuse

Throughout history, alcohol has been the social drink of choice by nearly every civilization on Earth.  In the past, alcohol has been consumed mostly for celebrating or as a way to relax.  That has changed over the years, with 1 in 13 people in the US dealing with alcohol abuse and needing some form of alcohol rehab.  Alcoholism, amongst every age group, is becoming a very serious issue in this country with many still not fully realizing that alcoholism is a disease and to truly take part in sober living, one might have to get into a good alcohol rehab program.

Question by titou: What to do about the growing number of “Bleeding Deacons” in AA?
Oh, I know. “Take what you like and leave the rest.”

But honestly, what about the newcomer who gets subjected to this stuff that gets touted as AA principle? “Step Series” are the norm here in South Florida these days, replacing Step Meetings. In these, you get one Worthy (chosen by a committee of Worthies, of course) who “shares” for 13 consecutive weeks at the same meeting. Most of them speak for the entire hour, which reminds me of an alcoholic “sharing” at an open bar. Never mind that conference-approved literature (‘A Member’s Eye View of AA’ actually says “The newcomer is greatly relieved that he does not have to submit to any lectures”. The opening format often says, “If you have had a drink or drug, please do not share…”. Sounds reasonable. But what about ‘Bill’s Story’ that ends with “…every AA meeting is a duplicate of that first meeting at the kitchen table.” Bill was drinking throughout that meeting with Ebby.

STEP FIVE “———-confess with your mouth—” Ro 10: 9 “Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” Jas 5: 16 “Now make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his will.” Ezr 10: 11 “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Jas 4: 6 “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.” Pr 12: 22 ADMITTED TO GOD, TO OURSELVES, AND TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THE EXACT NATURE OF OUR WRONGS. The Fifth Step is the second of the spiritual tools which the addicted person must learn to use and which will be used by him for the rest of his life in recovery. It is a vital and indispensable part of the process of recovery, for it requires the verbal admission of those things about the person which he has struggled to keep secret.
