Ok. I haven’t read the entire article yet, but I have to comment now because of the total disrespect and misuse of the 12 steps.

I have often wondered how “they” were going to destroy or at least try to destroy the 12 step program. It is anonymous and self supporting fellowship of men and woman who are seeking help from alcoholism, originally. The government is not allowed to come in and dictate or mandate what the fellowship can and cannot do. Actually, Bill Wilson, the founder, was offered money from the Rockefeller Foundation to get this thing going and the small group of recovering drunks said, no. And that is one of the Traditions in AA “Every group ought to be totally self supporting declining outside contributions.”

The 12 steps are for those who want it. They are not designed for those who may ‘need’ it. It is voluntary and even then you can take it or leave it at anytime. And racism is not an addiction it is an a belief.

Ok, now I will read the rest of the article! Plus, get on with my day!

I have to stop reading you first thing in the morning, Jon! Ha

It got me riled up!

This is why the shots were mandated for all students --while no one was paying enough attention, the 5G (and 4G+) will wrap up their minds in this completely.
