Maybe you are an exception, but you would be the last person to realize there was a problem, your co-workers and family probably have a different opinion.

Roger, your future isn't a higher power. Look at the 12 steps and see how it makes no sense.

I didn't like AA because most of the people in there were full of shite.

when I use to have to go for court, I think only a few were really sober in there.

after growing up around a relative who had a huge problem, it was easier to pick up on.

or maybe it was just a lot of misplaced anger I had.

regardless, I didn't like it.

and you're right, if a person really wants to quit they'll do it on their own.

but to be fair, everyone is not like that.

right, I also said not everyone is like that.

people find different ways to defeat it.

I've known people who have that didn't rely on some horseshite 12 step program.

if you fully understood your higher power, then it wouldn't be a higher power....that's why people have faith, because they believe in something that they cannot see or understand

whatever people want to use as their higher power is their business....as long as it helps them stay sober, more power to them
