The AA Member – Medications and Other Drugs (concluded)



Extract: (our observations in red print)

Some A.A. members share their experiences with drugs:

Alcoholics Anonymous is a program for alcoholics who seek freedom from alcohol. It is not a program aimed at drug addiction. However, some [Note the use of the word “some” ie. not 'all' AA member misuse prescription drugs] A.A. members have misused or abused drugs, often as a substitute for alcohol, in such a manner as to threaten the achievement and maintenance of sobriety. This has caused many A.A. members to be concerned with the misuse of drugs.

The following stories are from A.A.s who have used drugs, ranging from marijuana to painkillers, and discovered the alcoholic’s ['some' alcoholics] tendency to became dependent on other drugs. Fortunately they were able to find their way to sobriety in A.A., free from mind altering drugs.”

See above pamphlet for individual histories.

(our emphases)

Coming soon: aacultwatch's commentary on the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions – a piece of AA conference approved literature much reviled in cult circles! You'll see why soon enough!

Cheers
