I imagine there will always be some level of discussion within the rooms of AA over addicts in meetings. Some of my best friends are recovering drug addicts!
There, I said it...
Now, I passionately believe in singleness of purpose. And I believe in suggesting to our legal system they use more common sense when they mandate folks to AA. I also feel NA comes on a bit harshly when dealing with alkies in NA meetings.
Hey, I can have opinions and feelings galore - and what difference would they make? Why? Because we've already dealt with this within our literature. This certainly appears to be a solution that works under any and all circumstances;
"What would the Master do?"
Kudos to those who know where this originates...
Something to do with AA history, about letting someone join who had a 'stigma' attached to his belief, color, or choice of sexual preference. They decided to go with what the Master would do, and AA was rewarded big-time. That's only my recollection, not AA dogma -grin.

ReplyDeleteBut I think the pamphlet "problems other than alcohol" clarify that little sound bite.
Kudos to MC! Thanks Mary Christine - I think that info is important enough I just put a link to that pamphlet in the sidebar. Thanks again :)
