Yep! We're always delighted to announce the demise of a cult meeting but even more so when two bite the dust!
Guildford:
Beginners (see our Cult Where to Find (GB)
under Surrey – no connection with Guildford Young Persons of the
same day incidentally) has shut down as has Herne Bay: Big Book
Salvation (East Kent) (presumably because of a shortage of members
who either needed or wanted to be saved!)
The latter
group, of course, is associated with a certain 'cokehead' who goes by
the name of Harry K (Remember him? .. of
course you do! Who could forget such sartorial elegance!). We
say 'cokehead' because not only is AA blessed (?) with his presence but
also seemingly CA (Cocaine Anonymous) where he hangs about with
another of his ilk, Richard E (yet another recipient of
our“thug of the month” award... Is this pure coincidence??). We
use the term 'cokehead' because some doubts have been expressed in
certain quarters as to whether these two are even the real deal when
it comes to lapping up the 'sauce' so beloved of “real”
alcoholics …... although on this matter we can, of course, express
no view …. 'Nuff said! We are informed, however, that CA is
apparently prone to a particularly virulent form of recovery
dogmatism (accompanied by an equally rabid brand of despotism!) which
both Harry and Richard are most keen to promulgate …. both in their
equally unique but repugnant ways! Strange to say their form of
evangelism is not going down well amongst seasoned AA members who can
spot a con artist a mile away (with the exception of Harry A (or Harry the Handbag … don't ask!) ….. who's hopped on the
bandwagon to further his own control freak agenda). Unfortunately
the same cannot be said for newcomers who may be somewhat more
susceptible to their glib allure (is that the right word?).
But with
every silver lining there comes a cloud in the shape of Esher Green
Saturday evening meeting. More on this at a later date ….
