What he said about mental health is spot on. The main thing I noticed in AA was how nutty the people were. I mean it was like a psych ward and I just didn't fit in. Those people were extreme extraverts with mental disorders. I just wanted to get sober and go about my life. Those people were a soap opera, all revolving around sex with each other and back biting and gossip.

I don't appreciate that 'How it Works' singles out mentally ill people, that we cannot be honest. Ain't that the kettle calling itself black.

A young woman shared she was suicidal. The meeting moved on with people laughing when they shared. No recognition. The woman was ignored after the meeting. I was the only one to speak with her afterwards. My rose coloured glasses came off. Appalling.

It's not a disease that is a way for them to once again make money of people.We are all addicted to ice cream dope It's what happens when I get high wtf I love getting high I don't like the consequences it's not a disease everything is for spiritual and I don't want to hear the same nonsense of duhhhhhhh duhhhhh did he just say duhhhhhhh.Give drugs to anyone long enough any one and they will be addicted.I can read the steps principles before personally are you crazy this does not exist sounds good but not from a room up f ups with all respect
